Satellite is an object that orbits the earth and is used for various purposes, such as communication, research, and observation.
Indonesia has several artificial satellites, one of which is the Telkom satellite used for telecommunications services.
In addition to artificial satellites, Indonesia also utilizes other state -owned satellites for weather and environmental observation purposes.
Satellites are also used to help in mapping and surveying the territory of Indonesia, especially areas that are difficult for humans to reach.
Satellites can also help in research on natural resources, such as observation of agricultural land and plantations.
Indonesia also has an earth station that is used to control and communicate with satellites that orbit on it.
Satellites can also help in detecting and monitoring natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
One of Indonesia's satellites, Lapan A2/Orari, is used for the purposes of amateur radio communication and observations of stars.
Satellites can also help in monitoring and handling forest and land fires in Indonesia.
Indonesia also plans to develop its own satellite technology to meet national needs in the fields of telecommunications, environmental observation, and agriculture.
