Although a paper says "Due to this cooperation, LAPAN-A2 is called LAPAN-ORARI" which might imply LAPAN-A2" carries the functionality that had been planned for LAPAN-ORARI ? See this paper:

The NasaSpaceFlight.com Indian Launch Schedule forum is suggesting: September 28 or 30 - PSLV (XL) C30 SLP- AstroSat-1 + LAPAN-A2 (Indonesia) +2 x NLS (Canada) + 4 x Lemur (UK) http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=586u5uls4f4evp6gqkfbe18...
which implies LAPAN-ORARI is not on that launch. 73 Trevor M5AKA

Would one of our Indonesian friends be able to give us an update on the upcoming launch of their satellite?

that they are preparing for a launch at the end of September. This seems to line up with the Astrosat PSLV-XL C30 launch. I can't decipher if it is just for A2, or for LAPANSAT-ORARI, or if the satellites have been combined now? Is http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/finished_detail.php?serialnum=152 still correct as to modes and frequencies?
If the 650km, 8 degree inclination orbit is still correct, this will be a very interesting satellite for those below 30 degrees N and S latitudes, but unusable for those further north.
