interested in India's Rocket Provider Launch by PSLV rocket.
Dear All of AMSAT India
The delegate of Radio Amateur Society of Thailand under the patronage of His Majesty the King (RAST) has provided us with AMSAT India contact information in conjunction with our plans to launch a CUBESAT amateur radio satellite in the near future. Perhaps, I should begin with a brief introduction and an outline of our project to launch Thailand's first amateur radio satellite. RAST is the national non-profit society for amateur radio enthusiasts in Thailand which qualifies as a charitable entity pursuant to a Thai Ministry of Finance declaration while the society is also a member of the International Amateur Radio Union.
RAST has joined three Thai institutes of technology to support the first Joint Academy Intelligent Satellites for Amateur Radio of Thailand (JAISAT-1) project which has received funding from the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Research and Development Fund for the Public Interest (BTFP), which is under Thailand's regulator, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). The three academic institutes are all in the King Mongkut's Institute of Technology group, being King Mongkut's University of Technology of North Bangkok (KMUT-NB), King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL).
In a meeting on July 22, 2015 the NBTC committee approved state funding for RAST's JAISAT-1 project over a two-year period: 2016-2017. In my capacity as the JAISAT-1 project leader in charge of building the satellite along with a technical team from RAST, I am writing to you with a humble request for assistance. We currently face the challenge of finding an appropriate rocket for the launch of the CUBESAT satellite, one that will be within our limited budget and we are interested in India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV rocket.
In addition to our JAISAT-1 satellite there are two other CUBESAT projects that have received funding in Thailand, including a KNACKSAT satellite to be built by the King Mongkut Institute of Technology of North Bangkok (KMUT-NB) and a SPACEBOX satellite to be built by the King Mongkut University of Technology Thon Buri (KMUTT) as part of a project to "Explore the World" using remote sensing with these satellites being equipped with cameras. But RAST 's JAISAT-1 satellite will be for amateur radio communications for which we are designing and building a linear transponder ourselves in Thailand and we would like to seek your recommendations to help us to get in touch with someone who can provide a PSLV rocket to launch the CUBESAT satellite at a special rate one that we will be able to afford. We would very much appreciate any assistance, advice or recommendations that you can make for us to help our project achieve all its goals.
With deep respect. Sincerely,
Tanan Rangseeprom, HS1JAN JAISAT-1 Project Leader Manager Radio Amateur Society of Thailand Under the royal patronage of His Majesty the King
Hello Tanan, Thanks for reaching out to AMSAT INDIA and very glad to know about the JAISAT-1 project and your requirements for a launch opportunity. As you have mentioned PSLV has launched many satellites successfully for many years I would suggest that you contact Antrix Corporation Limited which is the commercial arm of Indian Space research organization and put forth your proposal and requirement's.It will also be good to involve all those connected in this project during the proposal. More details about Antrix at http://www.antrix.gov.in/
Feel free to contact me direct if you need any more information and I will be glad to help. Sorry to take up the bandwidth of this group but hope this information will help anyone who is looking for some similar opportunities. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG]Secretary, AMSAT INDIA
