Abstract
- Indonesia is prone to natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcano eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, and other common disasters, because it is a country stretched out along the ring of fire with several volcanoes bordered by the ocean. LAPAN-A2 is a second-generation microsatellite created by Indonesia's LAPAN National Institute of Aeronautics and Space. This satellite was launched on September 28, 2015, and its main objectives are Earth observation using an RGB camera, monitoring maritime traffic using an Automatic Identification System (AIS), and assisting in disaster relief using an APRS and voice repeater. One of the missions of the LAPAN-A2 satellite is disaster monitoring. To support this mission, this satellite carries a payload of video and digital cameras, or SpaceCam. Natural disasters are among the fascinating objects that satellites can watch. This essay will go over how the LAPAN-A2 satellite digital camera was used to monitor and document natural disasters. The findings demonstrate that the LAPAN-A2 satellite was able to record a number of catastrophic occurrences, including floods and volcanoes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
