All the parameters of the data obtained in the first ten seconds after
the rocket was launched from Cilauteureun Rocket Launching Station Pameungpeuk, Garut, which is LAPAN Flight Test Installation, Head of Public Relations said Elly Kuntjahyowati LAPAN, Friday.
Based on the Golden Data, LAPAN can make the rocket fly reconstruction behavior with `` error ratio (the ratio of error) of five percent, because of the launch of this product identified the condition of the motor and rocket fuel goes well.
Launch of the RX-420 is a step to build a rocket orbiter satellite (RPS) is expected to broadcast in 2014, he said.
Chief Engineer RX-420 Lilis Maryani explained, a series of flight tests was conducted to determine the technical specifications, before applied to the RPS, with 700 elevation angle can reach a height of 53 km with 101 km distance and speed of mach 4.4.
Minister of Research and Technology (Menristek) Dr Kusmayanto Kadiman admit, rocket technology have been the top program LAPAN, whose development is only for peaceful purposes, or for the welfare of the people as the weather observations and hotspots.
