SEBERANG PERAI, May 19 — A local space technology company, Angkasa-X Innovation Sdn Bhd, is developing a RM30 million earth station and space technology centre at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Engineering Campus in Nibong Tebal with a target of launching its first Malaysian-made satellite early next year.

“When the assembly line is ready, it has the capabilities to assemble four nano-satellites concurrently and we will be launching two constellations of satellites first,” Seah said. With the satellites launched in space, Seah said it will bring about downstream capabilities such as application development for the entire space technology.

Earlier in his speech, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the presence of the earth station and space technology centre will usher in a different dimension to Penang's industrial successes.
