supports: The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, commonly known by its abbreviation PSLV, is an expendable launch system developed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into Sun-synchronous orbits, a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV, commercially available only from Russia. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). Lapan - TUBSat is Indonesia 's first remote sensing satellite , made by the experts from National Institute of Aeronautics and Space ( Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional , Lapan ) and Technical University Berlin ( TUB ) Germany . The uses of the satellite are for Indonesian natural resources observation and weather forecast for the Indonesian area . Lapan - TUB Sat was launched on a PSLV launcher on January 1  st , 2007 from the Indian space centre in Sriharikota and still functioning well after the fifth birthday . Lapan - TUBSat is a micro satellite , weighs of 54 , 7 Kilograms , and orbit at 630 kilometers above Indonesia . This satellite passes the polar orbital ( from one polar to another ) and across the archipelago for two or three times each day . Image of Lapan - TUBsat , now can only be received by Lapan ground station in Rumpin , West Java , called remote sensing image for West Indonesia . Afterward , ground station in Pare Pare , South Celebes and Biak Island , Papua , will be built to receive image from remote sensing satellite for Middle and East Indonesia . Sriharikota is a barrier island off the Bay of Bengal coast located in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It houses the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, one of the two satellite launch centers in India with the other being the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station in Thiruvananthapuram. Indian Space Research Organisation launch satellites using multistage rockets such as the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle from Sriharikota. Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (Hindi:    ), abbreviated in English as GSLV, is an expendable launch system operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). GSLV has been used in ten launches to date, since its first launch in 2001 through to its most recent launch on September 8, 2016 of the INSAT-3DR.
