WHAT DOES PALAPA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

palapa

Palapa

Palapa is a series of communication satellites owned by Indosat, an Indonesian telecommunication company. The name Palapa also alludes to "Palapa Oath" taken by Gajah Mada, a 14th-century Prime Minister of the Javanese Majapahit Empire described in the Pararaton. Gajah Mada swore that he would not taste any spice, as long as he had not succeeded in unifying Nusantara. As the first developing country to operate its own domestic satellite system in the mid seventies, Indonesia has consistently taken the steps necessary for developing its existing geostationary satellite system for multiple services, safeguarding its global orbital allocation on an equitable first come first served basis, and embracing emerging satellite communication systems expected to yet emerge from their lingering stage. The program was started in February 1975, when the government of Indonesia awarded the contract for two satellites to Boeing. The name Palapa was chosen by president Suharto and means 'fruits of labor'. The purpose of the system was to unify the telecommunications of the nation.
