LAPAN-A3 (LAPAN-IPB)

LAPAN-A3, also known as LAPAN-IPB, is an Indonesian sun-synchronous microsatellite for multispectral remote sensing, AIS maritime monitoring, and experimental payload operations.^[1]^[2] Its multispectral imager has four blue, green, red, and NIR pushbroom channels, 15 m resolution, 120 km swath, and a 21-day revisit ^[1]. Other payloads include AIS, a 3 m digital/video camera, and a thermal imager.^[1]^[2] LAPAN-A3 launched on 2016-06-22 on ISRO PSLV-C34 with the Cartosat-2 Series Satellite mission.^[3] In 2018 it was operating nominally and producing imagery and AIS data regularly.^[1]
