Space is one of the areas that was on the horizon of development for the Founding Fathers of the Indonesia, with the establishing of institutions relating to this field since the 60s. At that time, the use of space was still limited internationally and space was perceived as a form of deterrence power during the Cold War.
This horizon has slowly become more evident, as the use of space technology and applications have changed drastically since the progress of democracy and massive globalization. In this 21st century, we are finally witnessing the birth of the NewSpace Era, welcoming the role of private actors in space activities openly and in a bigger way. The excellence brought by this new actor has triggered a dynamism in space that is becoming increasingly more sophisticated. NewSpace has brought in capital ranging from technological resources, human resources, to funding and international cooperation networks that are competitive globally.
