KUCHING, Oct 6: Telok Melano has been surveyed as a potential location for a sea launch facility that could eventually support satellites assembled in Sarawak.
According to Angkasa X executive chairman Dato Dr Sean Seah, the location had been considered as part of efforts to build a more complete space ecosystem in the State.
He said launch infrastructure would only make economic sense if Sarawak first developed sufficient satellite capability and activity.
“No rocket will come to Sarawak if you do not have your own satellites. So, no point building a port for a satellite rocket if you do not have enough capacity,” he said at the panel session ‘The Low Orbit Economy: Sarawak’s Next Frontier’ at the International Digital Economy Conference Sarawak (IDECS) 2026 here today, as reported by TVS.
