## Editorial
LAPAN-A2, also known as LAPAN-ORARI, is an Indonesian near-equatorial microsatellite for Earth surveillance, AIS maritime monitoring, and amateur-radio disaster communications.[^hakim-lapan-a3-preprocessing][^gunter-lapan-a2] Its payload set includes an optical camera and AIS receiver, with ORARI voice and APRS communications also described for the mission.[^hakim-lapan-a3-preprocessing][^gunter-lapan-a2] Its optical camera provides approximately 4 m ground sampling [^hakim-lapan-a3-preprocessing]. LAPAN-A2 launched on 2015-09-28 on ISRO PSLV-C30 with the AstroSat mission.[^isro-pslv-launches] In 2018 it was operating nominally and producing imagery and AIS data regularly.[^hakim-lapan-a3-preprocessing]
