Apa Itu Satelit? (Bagian 2)

Summary

This video highlights Indonesia's achievements in space exploration through the development of its own satellites. It covers the launch of several homegrown satellites, such as the Lapan-Tubsat, a micro-satellite for Earth observation, the Lapan A2 8 Orari, designed for disaster mitigation and amateur radio communication, and the Lapan A3-8 IPB satellite developed with the Bogor Agricultural Institute. These satellites contribute to vital functions like maritime monitoring, disaster response, and scientific research, showcasing Indonesia's growing capabilities in space technology.

Takeaways
