Space economy, Research trend, Bi-bibliometric, New Space era, Space sectorAbstract
A recent economic sector, the space economy, has been the subject of discussions at several international events, including the G20, COPUOS, and the World Economic Forum. The evolution of space activities from the traditional space era to the New Space era influences market shares in the global economy. This study aims to identify trends in space economics studies conducted up to 2023. The study used the Google Scholar database with space economy and valuation size of space economy as keywords. Further bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, Publish or Perish, and then artificial intelligence (AI) (ChatGPT). The study aims to identify the current direction in space economy research in terms of its subjects, issues, innovation, and publishing output. In addition to global trend research, a study was carried out on the space economy in Indonesia. However, the amount of research on the space economy in Indonesia, however, is still very limited in terms of case studies, which restricts a comprehensive description of the Indonesian space sector and industry. The research also shows how the space economy, as a sector, contributes to creating income for the economy.
