LAPAN IPB Remote Sensing Satellite (LAPAN A3/LISAT) Now is available to download

-
I have got information that I already verify by my self that my country newest remote sensing micro satellite LAPAN A3/LISAT data has been published.

You can get the data by ordering to this site : http://lisat.ipb.ac.id/order/ . Be sure you give the correct information in order to helping the operator to evaluate their product. You will be given an FTP URL accompanied with ID and Password via email you provided. All for free use.

LISAT carries two sensors which are MSI (multispectral scanner), a medium resolution multispectral (4 band) imager working on visible blue spectrum to near infrared spectrum at 19 meter resolution and100 km swath width, and DSC (digital space camera), a panchromatic camera at 5 meter resolution and 10 km swath width.

Right now, only the MSI data which available in the FTP. I hope they also provide the DSC data at the near future.

All other information related to LISAT can you get by reading LISAT baseline information available at https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/l/lapan-a3

This is a milestone for us in Indonesia, slowly we will become player in global remote sensing operation.

And the mission is not stopping here. LAPAN already planned to launch another experimental LAPAN A4 satellite sometimes at 2019, boarding a better sensor than the predecessors, and a first SAR satellite LAPAN A5 at 2020. Full operational satellite LAPAN B1 (optics) and LAPAN B2 (SAR) will be launched afterwards (2021 to 2024).

Here is a quicklook of one scene that I already downloaded from the FTP.

TUTORIAL ORTHOREKTIFIKASI CITRA SATELIT RESOLUSI SEDANG (CITRA ASTER)

Orthorektifikasi adalah proses koreksi geometrik citra satelit atau foto udara untuk memperbaiki kesalahan geometrik citra yang bersumber dari pengaruh topografi, geometri sensor dan kesalahan lainnya. Hasil dari orthorektifikasi adalah citra tegak (planar) yang mempunyai skala seragam di seluruh bagian citra. Orthorektifikasi sangat penting untuk dilakukan apabila citra akan digunakan untuk memetakan dan mengekstrak informasi dimensi, seperti lokasi, jarak, panjang, luasan, dan volume. Citra tegak merupakan citra) yang telah dikoreksi segala kesalahan geometriknya, sebagai akibat dari mekanisme perekaman citra. Kesalahan geometrik citra dapat berasal dari sumber internal satelit dan sensor (sensor miring/off nadir) ataupun sumber eksternal, yang dalam hal ini adalah topografi permukaan bumi. Perekaman off nadir dan perbedaan ketinggian berbagai obyek di permukaan bumi menyebabkan adanya kesalahan citra yang disebut relief displacement. Relief displacement sendiri dapat didefinisi

HAE (Height Above Ellipsoid) and MSL (Mean Sea Level) Conversion Using Pathfinder Office

Di tepi pantai kok GPS-nya nilai ketinggiannya bukan nol ? mending bro yang saya alami malah nilai ketinggiannya negatif!, hmmmmm pasti GPSnya rusak, mari kita "lembiru" (lempar ganti baru)...... :) GNSS/GPS receiver secara default menggunakan acuan ketinggian (datum) berdasarkan ellipsoid WGS-84 (datum koordinat global), sehingga nilai ketinggian/elevasi yang diperoleh merupakan ketinggian diatas ellipsoid (HAE : Height Above Ellipsoid). Jika GPS yang kita gunakan menggunakan setting ini, maka tidak heran apabila ketika kita survei di pinggir pantai, ketinggiannya tidak nol atau malah mungkin negatif. Hal ini dikarenakan lokasi yang kita survei menurut WGS-84 ketinggiannya bukan nol. Ketinggian yang mendasarkan pada nilai nol diatas garis pantai rata rata disebut dengan MSL (Mean Sea Level). Kenapa bisa ada dua acuan ketinggian yang berbeda?. Hal ini dikarenakan bentuk bumi tidak sepenuhnya bulat, karena itu ketinggian nol di pantai ancol jakarta sejatinya tidak sama de

ArcGIS Tile Package Conversion to Mbtiles using tpkutils (Basemap series part 1)

Imagine if all the published basemaps over the internet is not suit to your needs, what you can do?. The answer is simply, just make your own basemaps. And how to make them ? by convert the created map into raster tile package of course. From the created tile package, we can feed it off to map service provider like ArcGIS.com, Mapbox, etc, or just put it on your own server and webgis application/geoportal. Basemap can be authored using ArcGIS or QGIS (just to name the BIG TWO software these days). I am going to talk about ArcGIS first for this post. in ESRI ArcGIS environment, the tile package is called ArcGIS Tile Layer Package, and has *.tpk file extension. How to make them?, simply 1. Make your own map in ArcMap (symbolization, labelling, etc and save it on MXD. 2. Boot ArcToolbox, go to Data Management Tools > Packages > Create Map Tile Package 3. Set the tiling scheme (just use arcgis online/google tiling scheme), tiling format, level or details, tag, summary, ex
