Space Power
This project studies the ways in which India can leverage its space capabilities and international space cooperation to advance its national interests.
Our Approach
The ability to use space for commercial, military, and scientific purposes is a vital determinant of overall national power. Takshashila’s space power project looks at how diplomatic engagements, domestic policies, and military planning can help build India’s space power and thus contribute to its economic growth and strategic position.
