SatcoDX AutoScan Jakarta, Indonesia

Talk about tough luck. A recent storm

tore down the 1.8 m dish of the

SatcoDX scanning station in Indonesia.

The mounting parts could not

withstand the huge wind loads during

the storm. Naturally, the new

construction to be erected will take

this risk into account. We all learnfrom our mistakes!

The wind wasstronger!

Before: The mast proudly carries the 6-segmentdish with a diameter of 1.8 m for reception ofPALAPA C2 at 113E and CHINASAT 6B at 155.5E(received in the antennas offset) on the roof ofSatcoDXs scanning station in Indonesia. As a

matter of fact, it is not located in the capital Jakarta,but in Pontianak, which is in the west of the Malayarchipelago. If required, a motor allowed rotatingthe dish eastward all the way to INTELSAT 8 at 166Eand westward to YAMAL 202 at 49E. Next to theair-conditioner you can see two more small disheswhich are also used by the auto scan station.
