JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): The Satellite of Republic Indonesia (Satria) project, the country’s biggest telecommunication satellite to date, is on track for launch in 2023 despite prior talks of delay because of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to an executive from the project’s manufacturer.

Thales Indonesia president director Erik-Jan Raatgerink said that while the pandemic had delayed the initial kick-off and interfered with communications, the manufacturing was progressing as scheduled.
