Space Science Centre (ANGKASA) or
previously known as Institute of Space
Science was established on August 1, 2003.
On December 16, 2013, ANGKASA has been
merged with 3 other entities; Institute ofClimate Change Research (IKP) and Earth
Observation Centre (EOC) and ResearchCentre for Tropical Climate Change System(IKLIM) into the Institute of Climate Change(IPI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
