Abstract

This study aims to analyze Indonesia's space diplomacy strategy in facing the rivalry between the US and China in terms of space exploration. The research method used is qualitative descriptive using SWOT analysis tools to analyze the right strategy. The results show that Space is an important strategic terrain, affecting security, technology, and international relations. The U.S. and China compete for space dominance, utilizing advanced technology and diplomacy. The US, with NASA and the private sector, is leading the way in international exploration and alliances such as the Artemis Accords. China, through CNSA and major investments, is also expanding in the space exploration and global satellite markets. The U.S.-China rivalry reflects global repercussions, including the risk of space weapons conflict.
