As a wholly owned company under the Ministry of Finance Inc. ATSB is mandated to focus on research and development in the area of design and development of space-qualified systems employing advanced and innovative technologies.[3][4]

Space projects
RazakSAT, one of the Malaysian satellite made by ATSB

ATSB was entrusted with the design, development, launch and operation of TiungSAT-1, Malaysia's first microsatellite that was launched aboard a Dnepr rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan on 26 September 2000.[5]

The technical expertise and experience gained in handling TiungSAT-1 served as a stepping stone for the second microsatellite, RazakSAT, which was successfully launched on 14 July 2009. RazakSat failed after a year, and never became fully operational.[6]

ATSB developed the cubesat InnoSAT-2 that was launched on 29 Nov 2018 by ISRO. InnoSAT-2 carries a dosimeter, a CMOS camera and an experimental reaction wheel. The satellite bus was locally developed.[7][8]

Other projects

Differential Global Navigation Satellite System or DGNSS was developed and deployed worldwide in response to the resolution A.915(22) by the International Malaysia Marine Department Organisation. The Peninsular Malaysia Marine Department has established a network of DGNSS broadcasting stations that are supported by monitoring stations and a national control center.[9][10][11]

gollark: It has nice features which modern ones don't match, like first class environments, metatables and coroutines.
gollark: There are some which are perfectly good *languages* in my opinion but just don't have good libraries and such available, like Lua.
gollark: I can write JS fine but dislike it somewhat, as I dislike all programming languages ever for different reasons.
gollark: They like using weird terminology a lot to be annoyng.
gollark: I think I've looked at the API docs a bit, but discord.py has better documentation so I just use that mostly.
