Sultanate of Brunei to Host Indian Satellite Tracking And Telemetry Station

Edit
The Indian government cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been briefed about a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between India and the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam covering space cooperation and the establishment of a telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) station in the Southeast Asian country for orbiting satellites and launch vehicles.

India also commits to cooperating with Brunei in the field of space research, science, and applications.

The agreement was signed in New Delhi on 19 July 2018 and allows India to start to operate, maintain, and augment a ground station meant for supporting India’s space launches and satellite operations. In return, India will share its experience and expertise in space activities through the training of officials, scientists, and engineers from the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam on space and satellite technology applications.

The Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam has been courted heavily by regional powers such as China and Japan as part of the geopolitical competition for influence and primacy in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific in general.
