Writing Tips
By Erma Yulihastin
Writing Tips
1. Master (kuasai) the basics of good writing style.
2. Make sure your writing is clear, simple and effective.
3. Boost (tingkatkan) your writing motivation and confidence.
4. Write with rapport (menghubungkan) and engage (mengajak) your readers.
5. Develop your authentic writing style and find your own voice.
Paragraph
1. Paragraph is simply a sequence of sentences with a common theme that runs through the whole passage.
2. When deciding where to stop and start your paragraphs, the rule is simple: just start a new paragraph for each new point.
3. Make sure your paragraphs are always wider than they are deep.
4. If you're writing on-line, your paragraphs will need be shorter.
How Do I Structure My Writing?
1. Get clear on your point before you start.
2. Work out what state you want your readers to be in at the end.
3. Think about how to get your readers from where they are to where you want them to be.
4. Ask yourself hard questions at the end:
5. did you make your point?
6. what state did you convey?
7. Listen to conference workshop tapes.
8. Put in some mood music.
9. Let aromatherapy take you away: Aromatherapy scents like citrus can stimulate the mind.
10. Critique someone else’s work: Sometimes working on someone else’s work can motivate you to work on your own.
11. Change the scenery: go someplace else, even if it’s a different chair in the same room.
12. Change format: switch to pen and paper rather than your computer.
13. Stretch and exercise: toss a ball with someone or play a little one-on-one.
14. Read a really good book or a really bad book.
15. Clean your house or work area.
16. Read the newspaper or blogs for story ideas.
Connect with Reader
1. DO use headlines that demand your reader's attention.
2. DON'T make basic grammar mistakes.
3. DO use plain (terang/jelas) everyday words.
4. DON'T witter on: stick to the point.
5. DO get into the mood (reader).
6. DON'T be afraid to experiment.
7. DON'T dress up (melucuti) your writing.
8. DO use short sentences.
9. DON'T stick rigidly to the rules.
10. DO include something of yourself (story, value, persona).
Writing with Authenticity
Authenticity means,
"The quality or condition of being authentic, trustworthy (terpercaya), or genuine."
Writing with Authenticy
1. Use plain language.
2. Be credible.
3. Write in your own words.
4. Be yourself.
5. Write with intention.

A simple explanation of MUF
By Varuliantor Dear
MUF (Maximum Usable Frequency) is a maximum value of frequency that can be reflected by an ionosphere in a circuit of High Frequency (HF) radio communication
Why we must know MUF ?
(specially for operator radio )
To guarantee the success communication of HF radio which use an ionosphere as a media to reflect the signal radio ( it’s call a skywave propagation )
A propagation of radio signal
The relation MUF with a skywave propagation
The reflected frequency is depend on the condition of ionosphere which is have a variation each time, day, and seasonal.
• fp > f radio ; f radio will be absorb
• fp < f radio ; f radio will be pass
• fp = f radio ; f radio will be reflected
How we know the MUF value?
2 main factor/parameter to know a MUF value
– Critical frequency ( fo )
– Obliquity factor (k (distance, high))
And..How to use MUF?
• By knowing the MUF, now you can use it as a reference frequency to have/make a communication with other party at the other side. Which mean….
• It is the maximum frequency you can use, and you can use the frequency below the MUF…

A Short Visit to Biak
example picture of hilal
By Sungging
Early this month i was adventuring to Biak, a small island on the most north-east edge of Indonesia. If the trip is only for another trip, so i guess not much to tell, everyone does the adventures here and there. So, what’s make this adventure so unique is, because Biak is not just another island. Sometimes around the future in Biak, there will be a space launch facility built. This facility is the third space launch center outside of Russia, the owner of the facility. This facility will provide the efficient and cost-effective launch services for space vehicle on the region of South East Asia and beyond.
Utillizing converted equipment from the cold-war era into commercials need, the technology should be competitive for providing the growing commercial market of space related services. This project is a cooperation between the Government of Indonesia and Russia, and that would benefit for both countries, either on economy, science, technology or even politics. Since Biak is in the position just slightly near the equator and just on the Pacific Ocean, that should be comfort and efficient for space-launching, and those aspects are important on attracting client for space-related services.
The full detail of technical aspects should be classified by both government, obviously. In Indonesia, the national space agency (LAPAN) is the place for further informations about this subject. But for me, the opportunity to take a peek on the future ’space travel center’, i.e. Airport of Frans Kaisieppo; is an exciting experiences, beside, for the first time i saw Pacific Ocean! *teehee*

Powerful Earthquake Hits China
The New York Times
A 7.9 magnitude earthquake hit China's Sichuan Province on Monday afternoon, reportedly killing more than 8,500 people. The death toll steadily increased throughout the evening, raising concerns that the number could go far higher. Tremors shook buildings for hundreds of miles and were felt as far away as Vietnam and Thailand, according to interviews and reports in China's state media. Left, a collapsed school in Dujiangyan.
People gathered in a parking lot in Chongqing after the earthquake. China is prone to seismic activity and has suffered horrific earthquakes in the recent past. In 1976, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the city of Tangshan, located roughly 70 miles from Beijing. More than 240,000 people were killed and nearly every building was leveled in that quake.
A rescuer searched the rubble of a collapsed building in Dujiangyan. Damage is believed to be especially severe in Dujiangyan, a county of 600,000 people located near the epicenter.
Medical staff and family members evacuated patients from a hospital in Chongqing.
Why Reshearch data is Untouchable
By Ginaldi Ari and haries Satyawardhana
The source of research data :
1. Download from Internet
2. Observation
3. Buy from other institution
1. Download from the Internet
The reason that research data is difficult to take, is based on the sources above. The reason based on the source of downloading are:
a. Is hard to to search the data, the data from internet is usually not fully describe.
b. Need a long period to download the data, because research data usually consist of a lot of storage.
c. Computer viruses threat is very much spread around the internet
d. Sometimes the internet connection is disable because of several reason such as malfunction, etc.
From the reason earlier we can assume that every researcher has the right not to share the data that he belongs, but we can oppose that reason with another explanation such as:
a. Download from internet is using government facility, so the data is belong to the government. And is yhe researcher duty to share the data to the government and also the society.
b. The data from the internet is basically open source, we do not need to spend money to download it.
.2. Observation
Observation is also had a lot of reason why the data is so difficult, such as:
a. The research take place in a remote area, and sometimes its difficult to get there
b. It needs a lot of energy to make an observation, we need a lot of preparation and extra resources
c. Usually observation cannot valid only in a day or two, researcher need several observation to find the characteristic.and then made an analysis.
The researcher also doesn’t have the right from the data that they had based on the observation, because :
a. The equipment that they need for preparation is basically from the institution, in other words the government.
b. If researcher want to travel, it include an official duty using a government fund.
4. Buy from other institution
The obstacle from this research data is :
a. Bureaucracy in Indonesia is very strong, the people involve take an advantage of it.
b. Sometimes the data that we get is not suitable from what we desire
c. It is clear that we need money to buy things, including data.
d. Sometimes the researcher need to go to the data source directly, eventhough it is outside of the java island
Is very rarely that the researcher it self who spend the money to bought the data. Usually it comes up from the government fund or other allocation fund that in yhe upper end is also come from the government.
In the conclusion, there is no reason that a researcher keep the data for him self.

Sensor and it's Utility/Function
SENSOR AND IT’S UTILITY/FUNCTION
by. mario batubara
(Installation and Aerospace Observer Unit)
LAPAN – BANDUNG 2008
HISTORY OF SENSOR
Formed in 1967, Sensor established itself as a high quality manufacturer of precision transducers used in the rapidly growing hydrocarbon exploration industry. Aster its formed, sensors had became increasing in many type, function, etc.
DEFINITION
A sensor is a device which measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument
TYPE OF SENSOR
In this era – since sensor was formed, its technokogy has growth as fast as era change. One of them is the type of sensor. Talking about the type of sensor, ofer the world many type of those had made, such as :
1. THERMAL SENSOR
2. ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSOR
3. MECHANICAL SENSOR
4. CHEMICAL SENSOR
5. OPTICAL RADIATION SENSOR
THERMAL SENSOR
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Temperature sensor is used to measure the degree of heat of thing or anything. Kind of these are (Thermometers, Thermocouples, Thermistors, bi-metal, resistance temperature detectors)
THERMOCOUPLE
The Thermocouple is a thermoelectric temperature sensor which consists of two dissimilar metallic wires, e.g., one chromel and one constantan, coupled at the probe tip (measurement junction) and extended to the reference (known temperature) junction.
The temperature difference between the probe tip and the reference junction is detected by measuring the change in voltage (electromotive force, EMF) at the reference junction.
The absolute temperature reading can then be obtained by combining the information of the known reference temperature and the difference of temperature between probe tip and the reference.
BASIC CONCEPT OF THERMOCOUPLE
Look picture no.1
HEAT SENSOR
The second type of thermal sensor is heat sensor. This is usually to measure heat. Heat, its mean the energy which produced by the its thing’s temperature changing. Type of this sensor are (Bolometer, calorimeter, heat flux sensor)
THERMISTOR
A thermistor is a type of resistor with resistance varying according to its temperature. The word is a combination of thermal and resistor. The relationship between resistance and temperature is linear, then:
ΔR = Kδt
Where :
ΔR = change in resistance
ΔT = change in temperature
k = first-order temperature coefficient of resistance
(if k is possitive, its called PTC and if k is negative its called NTC)
MECHANICAL SENSOR
One of type sensor is mechanical sensor. This is used to measure mechanical quantity such as : altitude, flow, speed, acceleration, pressure, etc.
Here are the pictures of mechanical sensor :
Look picture no.2
HOW IS A GOOD SENSOR?
A good sensor obeys the following rules:
1. the sensor should be sensitive to the measured property
2. the sensor should be insensitive to any other property
3. the sensor should not influence the measured property
Ideal sensors are designed to be linear. The output signal of such a sensor is linearly proportional to the value of the measured property. The sensitivity is then defined as the ratio between output signal and measured property. For example, if a sensor measures temperature and has a voltage output, the sensitivity is a constant with the unit [V/K]; this sensor is linear because the ratio is constant at all points of measurement.

Researcher as a Profession
By.Varuliantor and Prayitno
What is profession?
Profession X Amateur
Profession is a Job (exactly Career)
Profession is a job based on skill, or education’s skill (KBBI)
Specific Education
for what?
-> getting certification or license
Organization
for what?
-> Giving protection or defense
Ethic Code
for what?
-> Procedure and ethic in work
Is Researcher a profession?
(For example in LAPAN)
Do LAPAN’s researchers have a license in research?
is LAPAN a profession’s Institution?
is there ethic code for LAPAN’s researcher?
If LAPAN’s Researcher is a profession
then
Professionalism is very important thing
How about Professionalism in LAPAN?
Is there procedure to do a research?
Is there a standardization in research?
What is the duty of a researcher?
What is the Researcher’s Warrant ?
Final Question
Did we act like a professional?
Have we already worked responsibility?

How can we learn speaking english?
By. Johan Muhamad
Background : world becoming global village
The Importance of Speaking English
—- There are about 800-900 million people speak English over the world
—- At least, there are 72 nations use English as their native language
—- The European Union is composed of 27 member states. The total English speaking population of the combined territories is 229,850,000 including 61,850,000 native speakers and 168,000,000 non-native speakers.
Difficulty Speaking English
Everybody makes mistakes in English
It wasn't the language that we spoke that created difficulties in communication, it was a lack of cultural context
Just for advice
— Relax!! Don't be in too much of a hurry
— Motivate yourself
— Set yourself achievable goals
— Try taking all opportunities of speaking in English
— Be grateful and shameless!!
Practical Suggestions
— Speak more slowly, so you have time to translate into English
— spending time with your nieghbors to Speak English
— when you speak English, try to think in English as well
Thank You very much…

4. Presentation
Benefit of The Program
- Knowledge in space environment
-> Experiments under normal & micro gravity
- Chance to learn more about cultures
- Good opportunity to have international
network among Asian Countries
Proposed Space Research
Measure the space environment ( plasma and high energy particle) in ISS orbit and environmental effects on material and electronic devices to investigate the interaction with and from the space environment at the KIBO exposed facility.
It’s very important that space environmental data about space radiation degradation of space parts & materials and spacecraft anomalies are acquired for spacecraft design and manned space activity.
The results of this research will be used to predict and measure space environment in LAPAN TUBSAT orbit (LAPAN TUBSAT is first micro satellite belong to LAPAN -Indonesia), including its environmental effects on material and electronic devices to investigate the interaction with and from the space environment at the LAPAN TUBSAT instruments like KIBO.
