Nusantara H-1A is an Indonesian geostationary 16U CubeSat to be launched to retain the Ka- and Ku-band rights to a geostationary orbital slot reserved for a delayed communications satellte.
Indonesia is going to retain the rights by the temporary use of small placeholder satellite, which will “bring into use” (BIU) the reserved frequencies for a time of three months, which will allow an extension of the deadline to start operations with the real communications satellite.
