Wisnu Widjaja YB=D8AZ brings the latest news on the two new Indonesian
Amateur Radio satellites, LAPAN-ORARI and LAPAN-A2 which are planned
to launch in 2011. ORARI is the Organisasi Amatir Radio Indonesia.

LAPAN-ORARI will carry a 5 watt output FM voice transponder with a
435.880 MHz uplink and 145.880 MHz downlink as well as an APRS Digi-
peater on 145.825 MHz. It will also carry a green light laser for
attitude determination.

It is planned to be launched from India into a 650km orbit with low
(8 degree) inclination as a secondary payload with "Megha-Tropique".

LAPAN-A2 will use S band (non amateur frequency) for video surveil-
lance and the amateur frequency 437.425 MHz for telemetry.

Wisnu Widjaja YB=D8AZ was the responsible operator on the frequency
coordination request for the two satellites submitted to the IARU
Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination panel which was approved
on December 23, 2009.

Work on LAPAN-ORARI and LAPAN-A2 satellites is currently at the
stage of assembly and testing of components.

More information is available on these satellites at

Vice Secretary General and International Affairs Coordinator and IARU
Liaison of ORARI, Wisnu Widjaja YB=D8AZ said, "Hopefully this information
can be useful for the member of ORARI and amateur radio throughout the
world about LAPAN ORARI and LAPAN A2 satellites.
