Description
Summary:LAPAN-A3 / LAPAN-IPB Satellite launched on June 22, 2016 (03:56 UTC) as an experimental micro-satellite for remote sensing and monitoring of maritime traffic. The Satellite was launched as a secondary payload on ISRO Cartosat-2C as its main payload, the launch carried out at SDSC (Satish Dhawan Space Centre) in India using PSLV-C34 rocket launcher. The Satellite was in orbit polar sun-synchronous with a height of 505 km above sea level. It has an inclination angle of 97 degrees and heavy satellite 115 kg, with this orbit, the satellite will pass through Ground station 4 times (2 times during the day and two times at night) with a duration of the track at the time of the pass about 10-15 minutes. The Satellite payload carried 4 bands Line Scan Cameras and Digital Imager (SpaceCam). For main mission is the earth observation for food vegetables And as additional mission is carrying AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver to monitor maritime traffic in the region of the poles, then Star Sensor made by LAPAN for qualifying room, then for scientific contained magnetometer sensor for monitoring the Earth's Magnetic field. The purpose of this scientific paper is to test the reception of data payloads of the LAPAN-A3 satellite on X-Band frequency of 8.2 GHz using a 5.4 M solid antenna Ground Stations LAPAN in Pare-Pare. The purpose of this experiment will tell us with 5.4 meter of diameter solid antenna is capable or not enough for HDRM receiver to lock a signal and produce the data output, and how this result if compare with 11 meter of diameter antenna in Splitzberg Groundstation in Norway.
