Indonesia and Denmark have entered a landmark partnership. They aim to enhance maritime surveillance and environmental monitoring. This is achieved through the launch of 20 satellites for Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs & Fisheries (KKP). The collaboration began in autumn 2022. It highlights the strong ties between the two nations, involving Indonesia’s KKP, Bappenas, and the Danish Space Industry.
The first satellite, named Cakra-1, is set for launch today, August 16, 2024, from Florida, USA. This initiative is supported by Danish Industry, Danish Maritime, EIFO, and the Danish Trade Council. It marks a significant step in ensuring the sustainability and security of Indonesia’s marine resources.
Rooted in Government-to-Government cooperation, this project underscores the growing technological collaboration between Indonesia and Denmark. It sets a precedent for future cooperation.
