Development of Supporting Technology for Sustainable Spaceport Development

Abstract

Spaceports have experienced rapid growth in recent years, but have also faced significant challenges related to management and sustainability, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. This literature review examines the role of supporting technologies in promoting sustainable spaceport development. Environmental and social concerns, such as disruptions to community activities, emissions, and environmental damage, have emerged as key issues associated with spaceport activities. By promoting open innovation and actor interaction, however, spaceports can foster sustainable development, taking into account infrastructure, social, and economic considerations. This approach aligns with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly practices in the space industry, which can attract investors and support further development. Safety and sustainability considerations should be integrated into every aspect of spaceport operations, given the high risks associated with rocket launches. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of the complex interplay between actors and technologies in shaping sustainable spaceport development.
