Benefits of Technology in Malaysia
•
Geospatial Data as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud-based delivery model that allows government, businesses, and academia to access data from a third-party provider.
•
Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) is an initiative by the government to enhance awareness about data availability and improve access to geospatial information. The mission profile that is deemed appropriate is one that is designed for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). The viability of implementing a sea launch system, including the deployment of ships or platforms from many coastal locations in Malaysia, can be considered.
•
MyGDI facilitates online access to geospatial information, avoids duplication of effort in collection of data, and ensures the accuracy, timeliness, correctness, and consistency of available data that enables far more comprehensive analysis of data to help decision-makers choose the best course(s) of action. In the event of the purchase or investment materialising, Malaysia will emerge as the main ASEAN nation capable of offering space launch services to serve regional and global demand, and resolve Malaysia’s current limitation of not rectifying Launch Technology-related treaty. As an alternative to the overall heavy investment needed to develop space- based manufacturing.
Space as a Service
•
There are initiatives aimed to convert or complement current airports with spaceport facilities. It is also feasible to implement a sea launch system on vessels or semi-submersible platforms that will be launched from several Malaysian shores. In order to facilitate the Commercial Launch Program and develop the necessary spaceport infrastructure, there is a need to establish suitable hosting arrangements. A space mission is characterised by a spacecraft achieving escape velocity and entering deep space, but thereafter following a course that meets with the gravitational body’s surface from whence it originated. The Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) has established the advanced AIT (Assembly, Integration, and Testing) facilities in the ASEAN region.

An alternative solution for the international sub-orbital mission is required due to the absence of a ground segment that has the necessary capabilities for Telemetry, Tracking & Control (TT&C) and Data Receiving Centre (DRC) functions.
•
The first focus of the ESA- IXV mission is on the Far East area.

The existing infrastructure, now under the management of MYSA, is well-prepared for the integration and extension required by the national Space-X 2030 Blueprint.

Democratisation of current facilities will improve the development of indigenous satellite in Malaysia.
