Record a New History, BRIN Successfully Monitors the Launch of India's LVM3-M6 Rocket

JAKARTA - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has successfully demonstrated the ability to track space technology through the launch of the LVM3-M6 rocket owned by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

This success is a milestone for BRIN because this is the first time Indonesia has been involved in tracking the space mission of another country. The country provided this technical support through the BRIN Earth Station in Bogor.

The collaboration between BRIN and ISRO involves the Satellite Technology Research Center (PRTS) to ensure that launch data is captured accurately. Head of the BRIN PRTS, Wahyudi Hasbi, stated that this achievement proves the readiness of national space infrastructure in the eyes of the world.

"This is a pride for BRIN because for the first time it is able to carry out the process of tracking the launch of the ISRO rocket and satellite," Wahyudi said in a statement, reported on Tuesday, December 30. This cooperation is expected to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global space ecosystem in the future.

The success of this mission also reflects the high confidence of other countries in national space competence. The Earth Station in Bogor has proven to be able to keep up with the high technology standards set by ISRO during the launch process.

This ability has been directly appreciated by the Director of Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) A. K. Anil Kuma, part of ISRO. According to him, BRIN's participation in this launch successfully succeeded the LVM3-M6 mission.

In the future, BRIN hopes that this collaboration will pave the way for collaborative research in the development of more advanced satellite technology. In line with this, BRIN will focus on strengthening the national research infrastructure.
