History

Founded on 1 September 2021 as ORPA (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Penerbangan dan Antariksa), ORPA was transformation of LAPAN after the liquidation of LAPAN into BRIN. As research organization of BRIN, as outlined in Article 175 and Article 176 of Chief of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021, every Research Organizations under BRIN are responsible and answered to Chief of BRIN. It also prescribed that the Research Organizations consisted with Head of Research Organizations, Centers, and Laboratories/Study Groups.[2] For the transitional period, as in Article 210 of Chairman of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021 mandated,[2] the structure of ORPA follows the preceding structure that already established during its time in LAPAN. Due to this, the temporary structure of ORPA largely follows the Chief of LAPAN Decree No. 1/2021.[3]

On 22 September 2021, ORPA constituting document, Chairman of BRIN Decree No. 5/2021, signed by Laksana Tri Handoko and fully published on 8 October 2021.[4] In the constituting document, it is revealed ORPA retained LAPAN old name. LAPAN acronym however, no longer translated as "Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional", it just simply "LAPAN", preserving historical LAPAN name. Thus, the organization name become "ORPA-LAPAN".

On 24 January 2022, part of ORPA-LAPAN, Atmospheric Sciences and Technology Center, transferred to Earth Sciences and Maritime Research Organization. Aside of the transfer, ORPA-LAPAN structure also slimmed. The change effective from 1 February 2022 and finalized on 1 March 2022 by Chairman of BRIN Decree No. 5/2022.[5][6] The organization name reverted again to ORPA and removing its "LAPAN" name thru Chairman of BRIN Decree No. 5/2022, backdated from 25 February 2022.[6]
