KEY POINTS
· Delhi’s new strategic interest in outer space is based on a recognition of two important trends.
· One is the centrality of emerging technologies in shaping the 21st-century global order. The other is about the urgency of writing new rules for the road to peace and stability in outer space.
· The new emphasis on space cooperation is part of a much larger technology agenda outlined by India and its Quad partners.
· India has been strengthening its maritime domain awareness through bilateral agreements as well as the Information Fusion Centre for the Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) at Gurugram.
· Space situational awareness (SSA) involves monitoring the movement of all objects natural (meteors) and man-made (satellites) and tracking space weather.
· The growing strategic salience of outer space demands substantive national policy action in India. Delhi has undertaken some reforms in recent years like letting the private sector participate in space activity.
· It has also taken tentative steps to cope with the unfolding military challenges in outer space. It has also initiated space security dialogue with close partners like the US, Japan, and France.
· The scale of the challenges and opportunities in outer space, however, demand more urgent and sweeping reform.
