Indonesia to launch its Earth's first satellite in the world that has equatorial orbit.
LAPAN-A2 is wholly an Indonesian product. Its first series LAPAN A1 was built in Germany. The micro satellite would have its orbit near the equatorial line, which will pass through the Indonesian outer space more often or every 1.5 hours.
The engineers from the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) performs a final check Satellite Lapan A2 / Orari in Satellite Technology Center Lapan, Rancabungur, Bogor, West Java, on Thursday (3/9). Satellite Lapan A2 / Orari is the first satellite entirely designed and made experts Lapan wear production facilities and test facility in Indonesia. According to the plan, Satellite Lapan A2 / Orari was launched on September 27 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikotta, India. Satellite was brought into orbit by a rocket superimposed on India joint astronomical research satellites belonging to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), astrosat.
Lapan A2 will equatorial orbits that can be used to monitor shipping and also as a means of alternative radio communication during a disaster

Indonesia anticipates risk of dispute in South China Sea
Indonesia will strengthen its weaponry systems on Natuna Island in order to anticipate future threats from the South China Sea dispute.
Natuna, located 550 kilometers east of Batam Island, borders Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. The island is on the border of Indonesia that is nearest to the South China Sea.
"We will equip Natuna with a port and extend its military air base runway. The runway should be enough to accommodate four jet fighters," Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu told journalists.
He added that more jet fighters would be stationed at the Ranai military air base in Natuna.
The defence minister has made a list of weapons systems needed for borders, saying having proper weapons systems along the borders was necessary to prevent possible threats to Indonesia's territory.
"We are not in a war situation, but the South China Sea is very close to us. We have to be prepared. Our weaponry systems are good, but we need to add more [weapons], so that we don't need to worry all the time," he said.
The South China Sea is a semi-enclosed sea bordering China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan.
Due to its proximity to so many nations, complicated, often sensitive questions over jurisdiction are common. In recent years, a series of disputes over islands have rocked relations between China and other countries.
Previously, Indonesia had upgraded a naval base (Lanal) in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, to become the Main Naval Base (Lantamal), also to anticipate similar risks of disputes erupting in the sea.
"[We should] maintain security and stability in the South China Sea, especially with the recently increasing intensity of threats," Navy chief of staff Adm. Ade Supandi said last week.
Besides allocating more weapons systems to Natuna, the Defence Ministry is starting to inspect the preparedness of weapons systems in all battalions of the Navy, Army and Air Force. The inspection was directly ordered by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to discover the condition of the weapons systems.
"We should know from the soldiers which weapons should be replaced or repaired," Minister Ryamizard said after conducting inspections in three military units: the Army's Special Forces (Kopassus), Cavalry Battalion Yonkav 1/1 Kostrad and Infantry Batallion Yudha Jaya in Jakarta.
Ryamizard said that he had also reported the audit of the weaponry systems to President Jokowi and so far the response was quite good.
"The most important thing is to maintain the weapons systems [that we have bought]. Our weapons are brand new and the maintenance should be done seriously," he said.
Indonesia is now working to strengthen its minimum essential force (MEF). It was reported that Indonesia met 38 per cent of the MEF in 2014 and aimed to reach 100 per cent by 2019. The country has allocated Rp 100 trillion (US$7.07 billion or S$110 billion) to meet the MEF.
After a long discussion, including a comparison of five different types of jet fighters, the ministry also decided to procure Russian-made Sukhoi SU-35s to replace the retiring F-5 Tiger jet fighters.
The Sukhoi purchase will be carried out in stages depending on the government's financial capacity.
"We wanted to buy one squadron, but we are aware of the current [financial] situation so maybe [we will buy] around eight [units]. The jets will be all brand new and have complete weapons," Ryamizard said.
The current price of a Sukhoi Su-35 is estimated to be US$65 million (S$93 million).
It was reported that before being selected, the Sukhoi SU-35 had to compete against four other types; the American-made F-16 Block 60, the Swedish-made JAS-39 Gripen, the Eurofighter Typhoon, a collaboration between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, and the French-made Rafale jet fighter.
Ryamizard said that besides purchasing the Sukhoi Su-35s, Indonesia also planned to procure Boeing aircraft and Chinook helicopters from the US.

^been in Nakhorn Ratchasima once, for the Asean Games 2007. Its about 4-5 hours north from bangkok.
TNI to Singapore: Fly Away Home!
Jakarta. Singaporean fighter jet drills in Indonesian airspace have drawn the ire of the Indonesian Military, or TNI, particularly as local military aircraft are restricted from flying in the same zone.
Singapore has for decades controlled the flight information region (FIR) above some Indonesian regions bordering the city state – such as Batam, Tanjungpinang, Bintan island and Natuna islands in Indonesia's Riau Islands province.
The country also had been allowed to conduct jetfighter drills above these regions and even above northern Sumatra under a bilateral deal on military training areas signed in 1996.
But this agreement has expired since 2001, and it has never been renewed due to Indonesian lawmakers' objection and concerns over national sovereignty, the commander of the Indonesian Air Force base in Tanjungpinang, Lt. Col. I Ketut Wahyu Wijaya, has said.
“The MTA agreement has expired. It hasn't been extended yet, but they've continued to conduct drills over there to date,” Wijaya said in an interview with news portal detik.com on Sunday.
He added that the Indonesian Air Force was helpless to stop the situation, as its limited fleet does not compare with Singapore's F-5 and F-16 jetfighters which have often been spotted doing the drills.
“That's why we have to have at least four jetfighters on guard in Riau Islands. The problem is, such a military presence needs supporting facilities, while Tanjungpinang [the provincial capital] is still lacking.”
Wijaya said the problem lies in Singapore's control over FIR in the area, which it has held since 1946.
The city-state believes it has a right to continue conducting military drills in Indonesian airspace within the FIR and Singapore protests Indonesian military aircraft's presence in the zone unless they have secured a clearance from Singaporean authorities.
“They've complained over the phone to the ATC [Air Traffic Control] at the airport in Tanjungpinang, saying, 'What is an Indonesian aircraft doing over there? It's a danger area,'” Wijaya said.
“I told the ATC, 'Why should you be afraid? You're the one who is supposed to throw a machete at them. That is our airspace. How come we have to seek permission from our neighbor to enter our own home.'”
“I told the ATC to tell them that the Indonesian Air Force refused to leave; that that was our territory. In the end they left. That means they felt guilty, right?”
Therefore, Wijaya said, it is completely necessary for the TNI to increase its presence in the area.
“The first thing we need to do is show our force, therefore they'll be worried about coming. That's the early step that we must do to take over the FIR,” he said.
“We, however, have difficulties sending them away because we don't have [enough] jet fighters; although what they've done is an official violation."
