The 3rd Regional Galaxy Forum Southeast Asia is taking place at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) branch office in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. In addition to ILOA, the event is co-organized by the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB). Faculty of the Department of Astronomy at ITB have been a key factor in the development of the regional SEA Galaxy Forum program.
Indonesia, the world’s 4th most populous country, is building 21st Century capabilities and investing in the future of Astronomy and Astronautics to the immediate benefit of students in every class across the archipelago. Scientists at the Bosscha Observatory, ITB and others, continue with plans to construct a 2.5-m class telescope and a 1-m radio telescope at Mount Timau or Mount Rinjani.
LAPAN is planning to complete work on a Space Port and Launch Center at Morotai Island by 2025. This complex is to act as the test site and future operational base of the LAPAN experimental satellite launcher. Last year the Rocket Technology Center conducted a successful static test of the RX 320 booster generating thrust of up to 4.9 tons. This is one of two rockets that will form the building blocks of the 4 stage orbital satellite rocket Roket Pengorbit Satelit (RPS) that is currently in development.

توسعه نرم افزار در هر پلتفرم بنا بر شرایط محیطی آن امری متفاوت و پردردسر است. از سالهای پیش نرمافزارهای مبتنی بر وب به عنوان راهکاری برای تولید یک مرحلهای نرمافزار برای چند پلتفرم مطرح گردیدهاند، اما در واقعیت توسعه این نرمافزارها دستکمی از پیچیدگی برنامههای Native ندارد. با بررسی چند نمونه، امکان پذیری این امر را با هم بررسی میکنیم.
Despite being a developing economy with its attendant problems, India has effectively developed space technology and has applied it successfully for its rapid development and today is offering a variety of space services globally. During the formative decade of 1960s, space research was conducted by India mainly with the help of sounding rockets. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was formed in 1969. Space research activities were provided additional fillip with the formation of the Space Commission and the Department of Space by the government of India in 1972. And, ISRO was brought under the Department of Space in the same year. In the history of the Indian space programme, 70s were the era of Experimentation during which experimental satellite programmes like Aryabhatta, Bhaskara, Rohini and Apple were conducted. The success of those programmes, led to era of operationalisation in 80s during which operational satellite programmes like INSAT and IRS came into being. Today, INSAT and IRS are the major programmes of ISRO.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

India has flown Gamma-Ray and Retarding Potential Analyser payloads on two
of its Stretched Rohini Satellites launched in 1992 and 1994. IRS-P3,
launched in 1996, carried an X-ray astronomy payload.
Chandrayaan-1, India’s first spacecraft mission to moon, was successfully launched by
PSLV-C11 on October 22, 2008 into an Earth orbit. Carrying 11 payloads built in India and
abroad, the spacecraft later reached the moon and went into an orbit around it with the help
of its Liquid Apogee Motor.After reaching its final operational orbit of 100 km height from
the lunar surface, the spacecraft’s Moon Impact Probe separated and successfully reached
the lunar surface 25 minutes later, carrying Indian tricolour with it on November 14, 2008.
During its active life, Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft conclusively found the presence of
water molecules on the moon.
In 2011, PSLV launched Youthsat, a scientific satellite built by ISRO carrying Indian and
Russian payloads for Stelar and Atmospheric Studies, into orbit.
India’s Mars Orbiter Mission envisages the exploration of Planet Mars through a
spacecraft orbiting the planet. The spacecraft is scheduled to be launched by PSLV in
October-November 2013.
Chandrayaan-2, carrying an orbiter, lander and rover is planned to be launched by GSLV.
An exclusive astronomical satellite, ASTROSAT and a solar observation spacecraft,
ADITYA-1, are also planned. Several ground-based facilities for space sciences, including
a Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere (MST) Radar, have been set up in India.
India has established a strong infrastructure for realising its
space programme. They include facilities for the development
of satellites and launch vehicles and their testing; launch
infrastructure for sounding rockets and satellite launch vehicles;

India has flown Gamma-Ray and Retarding Potential Analyser payloads on two
of its Stretched Rohini Satellites launched in 1992 and 1994. IRS-P3,
launched in 1996, carried an X-ray astronomy payload.
Chandrayaan-1, India’s first spacecraft mission to moon, was successfully launched by
PSLV-C11 on October 22, 2008 into an Earth orbit. Carrying 11 payloads built in India and
abroad, the spacecraft later reached the moon and went into an orbit around it with the help
of its Liquid Apogee Motor.After reaching its final operational orbit of 100 km height from
the lunar surface, the spacecraft’s Moon Impact Probe separated and successfully reached
the lunar surface 25 minutes later, carrying Indian tricolour with it on November 14, 2008.
During its active life, Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft conclusively found the presence of
water molecules on the moon.
In 2011, PSLV launched Youthsat, a scientific satellite built by ISRO carrying Indian and
Russian payloads for Stelar and Atmospheric Studies, into orbit.
India’s Mars Orbiter Mission envisages the exploration of Planet Mars through a
spacecraft orbiting the planet. The spacecraft is scheduled to be launched by PSLV in
October-November 2013.
Chandrayaan-2, carrying an orbiter, lander and rover is planned to be launched by GSLV.
An exclusive astronomical satellite, ASTROSAT and a solar observation spacecraft,
ADITYA-1, are also planned. Several ground-based facilities for space sciences, including
a Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere (MST) Radar, have been set up in India.
India has established a strong infrastructure for realising its
space programme. They include facilities for the development
of satellites and launch vehicles and their testing; launch
infrastructure for sounding rockets and satellite launch vehicles;
telemetry, tracking and command network; data reception
and processing systems for remote sensing. A number of
academic and research institutions as well as industries
participate in the Indian Space Programme. Several Indian
industries have the expertise to undertake sophisticated jobs
required for space systems.
