Rancabungur Earth Station BRIN Sukses Controls the Launch of the Indian LVM3-M6 Rocket

JAKARTA - BRIN's Rancabungur Earth Station successfully provided technical support for the launch of the LVM3-M6 rocket owned by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The rocket took off on Wednesday, December 24.

During this launch, BRIN assisted ISRO in monitoring the rocket's flight parameters and data transmission in real-time. The entire system is ensured to function optimally without any data loss during the critical early launch phase.

"Alhamdulilah, all systems function well and no data is lost in the launch of LVM3-M6," said Ade Purwanto, Deputy Chairman of the Tracking Implementation Team from BRIN. According to him, this success is supported by the cooperation of internal and external BRIN teams.

This international partnership is very important for the Bluebird Mission Block 2 mission operated by ISRO. In this mission, Rancabungur Earth Station needs to provide support according to global launch standards.

Indonesia's geographical location at the equator provides an advantage in reaching certain orbit trajectories. This makes the Rancabungur and Biak Earth Stations a highly considered asset by foreign partners, including ISRO.

This success also shows that Indonesia has competent human resources in operating advanced technology. Indonesia has also proven to have space infrastructure readiness.

This achievement is a new milestone in the space partnership between Indonesia and India. According to BRIN, this achievement proves that Indonesia is capable of becoming a strategic partner in the global space ecosystem.
