New Delhi: As part of the space cooperation between India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), India has started work on setting up a ground station, payload data reception, processing and dissemination facility in India. Vietnam.
It aims to provide a reliable operational space-based system for remote sensing in the ASEAN – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – region.
From providing remote sensing data and training to working with countries on small satellites, among other things, ISRO The partnership with ASEAN has been a long one and this is another step in the direction of taking forward India’s space diplomacy.
TOI was the first after the prime minister reported India’s intention to set up a ground station in Vietnam in 2015 Narendra Modi The matter was discussed at the India-ASEAN meeting in Ne Pi Taw, Myanmar. And, earlier this year, India told the UN Security Council that its approach Indo-Pacific As a free, open and inclusive region, ASEAN is based on a common pursuit of centrality and prosperity.
The proposed facility, which will be built on four hectares of land at Mai Foc-3 Industrial Park, Binh Doung Province, Vietnam, will have an 11 meter antenna that will be installed by ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC).
Documents reviewed by TOI show that the land for the project has already been acquired by the Vietnamese government, while ISTRAC last week invited Expression of Interest (EoI) from bidders for the construction of the facility.
The selected companies are “working on a design and construction mode that involves planning the work with prior approval from the Vietnamese authorities and design, construction and commissioning of the work as per the approved plan as a composite work on the acquired land”. Including Civil, PH, Electrical and other allied works.
The estimated cost of the project is 86 billion Vietnamese dollars and work is expected to be completed in 18 months after commissioning. The facility will include, among other things, an antenna support structure spread over 75-sqm, a facility building spread over 1,235-sqm.
Once operational, this feature will also be useful for India, which is working on expanding its tracking network. ISRO already has a network of ground stations within and outside the country: Bengaluru, Lucknow, Mauritius, Sriharikota, Port Blair, Thiruvananthapuram, Brunei, Biak (Indonesia).
Among other projects, the said facility in Vietnam can also help India gagakonan As part of the mission, ISRO is looking for its own coverage for at least 90% of the flight path and is dependent on other tracking stations as much as possible for manned flight missions.
