At Antarexxa, we believe that space is for everyone—not just for established spacefaring nations but also for emerging space countries like Indonesia. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Indonesia and the global space industry, ensuring that our youth have the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to become active players in the global space economy.

By championing the Indonesian Rover Team to compete at the European Rover Challenge (ERC), we are laying the groundwork for a strong, diverse, and inclusive space ecosystem—one where Indonesian talents can innovate, lead, and contribute to the future of planetary exploration.

Indonesia’s space ambitions are growing, but to realize a sustainable and competitive space industry, we must invest in human capital. Competitions like ERC serve as real-world training grounds, offering Indonesian students hands-on experience in:

✅ Space Robotics & Engineering – Developing rovers mimics the challenges faced by engineers working on Mars missions for agencies like NASA, ESA, and ISRO.
✅ Scientific Research & Exploration – Teams conduct geological and astrobiological analysis, preparing them for future planetary science careers.
✅ Problem-Solving & Innovation – Working under competition constraints mirrors real space mission challenges, teaching adaptability and resilience.
✅ Global Exposure & Networking – Representing Indonesia on an international stage connects students with space industry experts, research institutions, and potential career opportunities.

By supporting this team, Antarexxa is helping build a pipeline of skilled professionals who will lead Indonesia’s space industry—whether in planetary exploration, space robotics, or beyond.

🌍 Empowering Youth to Drive Indonesia’s Space Revolution

We see Indonesian youth as the driving force behind our country’s space ambitions. However, access to hands-on space engineering opportunities is still limited. By giving our students a chance to design, build, and test planetary rovers, we empower them to:

🔹 Think Big & Dream Bold – Competing at ERC proves that Indonesian students can compete with the best teams in the world.
🔹 Gain Industry-Recognized Credentials – Participants earn the Space Industry Certificate, strengthening their credibility for careers in space technology and engineering.
🔹 Become Global Innovators – They learn to collaborate across disciplines (engineering, science, and business) to tackle complex challenges—just like in real space missions.

Through capacity-building programs like this, Antarexxa is equipping young Indonesians to become not just workers, but innovators and leaders in the global space industry.

🌎 Diversity & Inclusion: Ensuring Equal Opportunity in Space

Antarexxa is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in space exploration. Historically, emerging space nations like Indonesia have been underrepresented in the global space economy. By supporting a diverse and multidisciplinary Indonesian rover team, we are ensuring that:

🌟 Students from different backgrounds get an equal chance to contribute to space robotics and planetary science.
🌟 Women in STEM are empowered to take on leadership roles in space engineering, breaking gender barriers.
🌟 Indonesian talents—regardless of financial background—can compete globally, thanks to sponsorships and industry support.

By making space accessible and inclusive, we increase Indonesia’s presence in the international space community and create new opportunities for future generations.

🌠 Indonesia as an Active Player in the Global Space Economy

For too long, Indonesia has been seen as a consumer of space technology rather than an active player. Antarexxa is working to change that narrative by ensuring our country is represented at global competitions, research collaborations, and industry events.

By championing the Indonesian Rover Team, we are:
🔭 Elevating Indonesia’s space profile – Demonstrating our capabilities in planetary robotics on an international stage.
🚀 Attracting global partnerships – Building connections with space agencies, universities, and industries that can collaborate with Indonesia.
🌏 Contributing to the global space economy – Showcasing that emerging space nations like Indonesia can develop world-class talent and innovation.

This is not just about a single competition—it is about establishing Indonesia’s role in the future of space exploration.
