Progress in space technology has played a key role in pushing technological advances in the industrialized nations and producing innovative products of the era. However, until now there have been very few quantitative assessments of the pervasive economic effects of new technologies developed by national organizations such as NASDA (National Space Development Agency of Japan) . Regretfully, such effects are rather difficult to realize despite their possible benefits. We selected NASDA’s operational satellites as a case study and conducted cost breakdown of developing and launching these satellites. The calculated amount was then allocated to each industrial sector classified in the inter-industry relations table to determine the pervasive economic effects. Based on the above-mentioned calculation and others, the following results are obtained. 1)Pervasive Economic Effects by Industrial Sectors (in Amount) : To determine the total induced effect of developing and launching NASDA’s operational satellites. 2) Influence Factor: To determine the influence factor, defined as the extent of impact unit of investment by developing and launching satellites will have on each industry, to make a comparison with other industries.
