Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) On May 31, 1962 the National Aeronautics Council of the Republic of Indonesia (Dewan Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional/DEPANRI) formed the Astronautics Committee to take the task of initiating steps on development of space utilization for national interest. On September 22, 1962, the Initial Scientific and Military Rocket Project (Proyek Roket Ilmiah dan Militer Awal/PRIMA), the cooperation between the Air Force of the Republic Indonesia and Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), was instigated to build two Kartika series rockets of 235 mm diameter and 220 kg weight including their telemetry. The Kartika-1 rocket was successuly launched on August 14, 1964 at Pameungpeuk, West Java. With the cooperation with Japan, the Kartika-2 was launced in August 1965 as part of Indonesia participation in the International Quiet Sun Year (IQSY).

The government of Indonesia, furthermore, decided that it is important to establish the institution of national space programs. On November 27, 1963 the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional/LAPAN) was established under the Presidential Decree Number 236 Year 1963 to conduct research and development of aeronautics and space technology and applications.

LAPAN organization has been amended several times since its inception in line with the growing needs for research and development in the field of aeronautics and space technology and applications in Indonesia. LAPAN organization and responsibilities are currently stipulated under the Presidential Decrees Number 178 Year 2000, Number 60 Year 2001, and Number 103 Year 2001. The scope of LAPAN痴 activities includes:
Research and development of remote sensing technology and applications.
Research and development of atmospheric science and technology and space science.
Research and development of aerospace technology.
Assessment of aerospace policies.

In this paper, the focus will then be on the current and future research and development of remote sensing technology and applications. The overall goals of these activities are:
To increase the capacity of remote sensing satellite ground station system in data acquition, cataloging, and archieving.
To build National Remote Sensing Data Bank with strengthen its operation, legal and insitutional aspects.
To develop metodologies of various remote sensing data applications for land, coastal and ocean resources.
To participate actively in national and international collaborations on climate change and disaster mitigation.
To give the opportunity to provide remote sensing products and services for the private sectors.
