Mastery of aerospace technology becomes very important for Indonesia. Due to the given the vast areas of Indonesia mostly in the form of marine waters.This condition has made a guarding and monitoring becomes easy. Therefore needed satellite technology that can be utilized to guard the interests of the territory of Indonesia. The success of developing IiNUSAT-1 on the one hand proves that the universities in Indonesia have competence in the field of nano-satellite development, on the other hand also shows that gotong-royong (working-together) in research-networks and technology will accelerate the research competence. In the first year of development IiNUSAT-1 produced a document Prelimidary Design Review, and a prototype of the nano-satellite. The result shows that the nano-satellite prototype has maximum transfer rate 115.2 kbps and every parameter is sampled every second. Having experience developing and operating the nano-satellite in the first year research project, it will trigger the research related to security and prosperity of the nation. The next version of the nano-satellite will be payloaded with sensors and instruments which can be utilized for national security and prosperity.

Saat ini terjadi peningkatan minat pembuatan satelit nano di berbagai perguruan tinggi di seluruh dunia. Dari sudut pandang pendidikan, satelit nano telah dianggap sebagai alat pendidikan yang baik karena melibatkan mahasiswa secara langsung mulai dari perancangan, pembuatan, pengujian, peluncuran, pengoperasian hingga analisis data. Untuk merealisasikan pendidikan satelit menggunakan satelit nano dengan sumber daya yang terbatas, sangatlah penting untuk menentukan fokus dan hal-hal yang harus dihindari. Paper ini melakukan studi banding terhadap pengalaman dan sekaligus evaluasi Program INSPIRE (Indonesian Nano-Satellite Platform Initiative for Research & Education) dengan satelit IiNUSAT-1 dan beberapa kasus yang serupa di luar negeri.

INSPIRE (Indonesian Nano-Satellite Platform Initiative for Research & Education) is a nonprofit initiative project that aims to build & develop a satellite technology platform (nano-satellites in particular) among universities in Indonesia, by placing students as main participants.
INSPIRE project was created to remind that our country is enough left behind by other developing countries in the field of satellite technology, yet this technology platform can support other sectors such as telecommunications, navigation, marine, environmental, natural resource exploration, as well as early warning system for disaster.
INSPIRE project is expected to raise as well as providing transfer media of knowledge and skills as well as to grow and develop interest in the satellite technology (especially nano-satellites) among the students, and the universities as a center of activity.
Certainly, the final goal of this project does not just stop with the nano-satellite in the university & college students only, but is expected to advance satellite technology in Indonesia, because the technology is very vital existence, either in an academic environment as well as in industrial environments (telecommunication & informatics) .
One early milestone INSPIRE project is convening a national workshop, which brought together the stakeholders in the satellite technology in Indonesia, such as Tubsat LAPAN team, IiNUSAT (Indonesian Inter-University Satellite) team, INASAT team, as well as the experts and the entrepreneurs of nano-satellites from abroad. Moreover, it also invited representatives of students and universities throughout Indonesia as a potential major participant in the next INSPIRE activities. This workshop also bring them together in a forum to discuss strategies and synergies in the future for education and mastering of nano-satellite technology for the welfare of the nation.
