Lapan, Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space is responsible for the development of aeronautics and space technology. One of the milestones is the currently orbiting LAPAN-TUBsat, put into orbit with the help of other nation launch systems. So, LAPAN still depends on other countries to launch its satellite. Currently, a program on a conventional land base rocket delivery system is under development. As an alternative to the ongoing program a simpler and cost effective launch system will be studied. One of the alternatives is an aerial launch system. This system is seen as a viable alternative due to its operational and support simplicity. A study of this system will be carried out by comparing it to the conventional launch system. The comparisons are limited to the vehicle of the system and its ability to launch a micro satellite size object. As an alternative to the conventional system, the aerial launch is within reach of the current needs and capabilities of LAPAN. As the study suggests, this alternative may be one of the solutions LAPAN needs for a launch system.
