LAPAN Indonesia -- National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) handed the remote sensing data to a number of government agencies and the provincial government in Jakarta, Tuesday (24/1). Such data can be used for a number of interests.
Distribution data that has been done since 2015 is fairly important for national development. It sebabya, according to the head LAPAN Thomas Jamaladin, regional demand and state agencies related to satellite imagery increases.

"Now there are 18 ministries and agencies and 19 provinces that receive satellite remote sensing data from LAPAN," said Thomas.
However, LAPAN status is a distributor of data. They are not first-hand data collection. Satellite data collector of which was not LAPAN. However LAPAN who process and interpret the data to the institutions interested.
Space agency to purchase or subscribe to data from several foreign commercial satellites. Call it the SPOT 6 and SPOT 7 are high spatial resolution, medium resolution Landsat, NOAA and Himawari low resolution to the weather, to the satellite WorldView and QuickBird very high resolution and useful for spatial planning in more detail.

As alluded to not wear their own satellites, Space agency assess the ability of satellite A1, A2, and A3 is still not as strong as they subscribe to the needs that exist today.
Of the four types of satellite data, only LAPAN only satellite remote sensing data provide very high resolution.
The fourth type of data purchased by LAPAN. By them, the data was disseminated to government agencies in the country free of charge according to the needs of each. Space agency's task in accordance with the mandate of Presidential Instruction No. 6 of 2012 which asks Space agency shall provide satellite remote sensing data of high resolution with the Indonesian government license.
Based on the information Deputy Remote Sensing Space agency, Orbita Roswintiarti, PI command had forced all agencies and local governments should be 'knocking on doors' Space agency requests related remote sensing data.
"The rules that streamline the request of various institutions that had always buy on their own," said Orbita met in the same place.
With remote sensing data earlier, many things can be done. Fishermen can monitor potential area of fish stocks, calculate the area of the plantation, measuring an area subject to tax, up to the spatial planning of the city.
Thomas hopes the use of remote sensing data has been provided by the government through LAPAN can be absorbed by the agency and the provincial government throughout Indonesia in 2019 later. As for this year there are ten targeted provinces will cooperate with LAPAN, one of which is Jakarta.
