[amsat-bb] LAPAN-A2/ORARI update?

[M5AKA]

Although a paper says "Due to this cooperation, LAPAN-A2 is called LAPAN-ORARI" which might imply LAPAN-A2" carries the functionality that had been planned for LAPAN-ORARI ? See this paper:

 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=586u5uls4f4evp6gqkfbe184o7&topic=1173.1140

which implies LAPAN-ORARI is not on that launch.

 Would one of our Indonesian friends be able to give us an update on the
upcoming launch of their satellite?

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.
