Origin & Mission

Who We Are

Engineering spaceflight systems and autonomous payloads from Surabaya to the global stage.

Javanese Heritage · Batara Bayu

Bamantara in classical Javanese culture signifies Air Sovereign—inspired by the celestial wayang deity Batara Bayu, ruler of wind and atmosphere.

Founded from the historic EEPIS Space Team which pioneered Indonesia's National Komurindo-Kombat sounding rocket competitions in 2010, Bamantara EEPISAT re-engineered itself in 2020 as a world-class aerospace student delegation, competing internationally in the American Astronautical Society (AAS) CanSat Competition and TEKNOFEST Aerospace.
