Indonesian Space Agency

Space Agencies of Asia

The Indonesian Space Agency, known as INASA, is the Indonesian government body engaged in activities related to outer space and space exploration policy. INASA differs from the Research Organization for Aeronautics and Space in that it does not itself carry out space research, and instead functions as a coordinative agency designed as a space lobby and policy making body.
