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

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.

Dear Drew

Thanks for your email.

Yes the LAPAN ORARI (LAPAN A2) satellite is planned to launch at the end of September 2015 from India.

It's an equatorial satellite have the amateur payloads: FM Voice repeater and APRS digipeater.

Dear Drew

LAPAN-A2 also known as LAPAN ORARI satellite will be launched together on a mission astrosat India's PSLV-C30 / astrosat on 28 Sep 2015. It will operate in the near equatorial orbit between 6 to 8 degree, 650km and able to cross the territory of Indonesia 14 times a day.

I will update to you as soon as possible after this bird on orbit.

Thank you Wisnu,

Best of luck with the launch, and please send us any further information that you can. Is the 8 degree, 650km orbit correct?
