Participatory Scenario Planning for Indonesian Space Industry in 2025

As the world's largest archipelagic country with terrestrial and marine terrain, Indonesia needs a mastered space technology to be used to support national development in all areas including political, economic, defense and security. Satellite observer industry or remote sensing satellite industry is one solution to the answer. But the satellite industry is not yet developed in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper intends to examine the development of satellite observation industry in Indonesia by using "scenario planning" approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis with stakeholder scenario planning approach. The results show that the development of the national satellite industry targeted for implementation in 2025 requires strong political support with adequate human and economic support, among others, can be achieved by the adoption of satellite programs in national development priorities and forming a cross-sectoral consortium of stakeholders interest to build Indonesian Remote Sensing Satelite (InaRSSat) at this time.
