Its self- reliance in space technology is a source of national pride, as well as essential to its national security interests. India has a pragmatic approach to space: it goes alone when it must but opens its market where it can to foreign partners. Recent achievements to date– developing its own GPS satellite system, a planned mission to Mars, and space launch vehicles–have been government-led and driven by a self-dependent approach. U.S. space technology exports to India suffered after the jurisdiction of space exports was transferred from the Department of Commerce (EAR) to the State Department (ITAR) in 1999. Market opportunities declined in the first decade following that. U.S. efforts in 2010 to reform export controls given the growth in the commercial space sector have opened some market opportunities. India’s importance to U.S. geopolitical interests is reflected in the US Indo-Pacific strategy and addition to Commerce’s Strategic Trade Authorization (STA) Tier 1 status in 2018. In line with its “Make in India” initiative India has promised to open its space industry to the private sector, offering a “level playing field” for companies in satellites, launches, and space-based services. This suggests the possibility for foreign companies to partner Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited.

In March, President Biden held his first meeting with Prime Minister Modi online, along with the leaders of Japan and Australia, which combined form the “Quad”-- a four-country group that is seen as a counter-weight to China’s growing military and economic influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Bilateral defense trade relations remain strong and are expected to grow. In 2016 India received the status of a “Major Defense Partner” by the United States. In keeping with this, in 2018 India was elevated to Strategic Trade Authorization (STA) Tier 1 status, which allows U.S. companies to export license-free to India a wide range of military and dual-use technologies regulated by the Department of Commerce. In September 2020 India and the U.S. held its bi-annual Defense Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) meeting, focused on broadening the defense relationship and identifying co-production and co-development projects for military equipment. Near-term DTTI projects include: air-launched small unmanned systems, light weight small arms technology, and intelligence-surveillance targeting and reconnaissance (ISTAR).

India-China relations have deteriorated since border disputes along the Line of Actual Control in May 2020. Borden tension is likely to continue. However, statements from both countries indicate little intent for deliberate military action. Remote sensing and satellite communication capabilities are key to monitoring India’s contested borders with China and Pakistan. Regional South Asia: Indian relations with Pakistan consistently remain difficult, with bilateral ties threatened by the August 2019 constitutional changes affecting Indian-administered Kashmir. Regionally, India is seeking stronger ties with Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. Trade Relations: India’s top major trading partners as of 2019 are: the United States (16.6% share of exports); United Arab Emirates (9.2%); China and Hong Kong (9.1%); Singapore (3.3%); and the UK (2.7%). India’s top export commodities include refined petroleum products, chemicals, and pharmaceutical products, while its major import items are oil & gas mining products, mining of metals and basic chemicals, and semiconductors. India imported last year approximately $35 billion in goods and services from the United States– the second largest source of imports following China ($68 billion). Aircraft & spacecraft was India’s 10th largest import category in 2020, representing 3.2% of India’s total imports, or $10.9 billion. The US government approved approximately $1.04 million in ITAR-controlled spacecraft (ITAR Category XV) articles and technical data to India from the U.S. during fiscal years 2017-2019.

All Rights Reserved. 7 Make in India Policy India’s procurement priorities are closely linked to its ‘Make in India’ program, an initiative launched in 2014 intended to boost local capability and, ultimately, reduce dependency on imports, including in the defense and space sectors. While the Indian MoD discontinued the policy of requiring offsets in government-to-government trade, the MoD is very unlikely to procure space-technologies from foreign suppliers who do not have strong industrial and collaborative links with local partners. MoD has prioritized local defense production. Given India’s relatively low level of industrial capability, however, it is likely to be several years before these objectives are achieved. Make in India focuses on 25 priority sectors, including space. In March, the Department of Space announced the creation of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN- SPACe) to “promote, handhold, regulate and authorize space activity by private sector which will result in enhanced private participation.” In keeping with this goal, the budget for the Department of Space, which includes its main civilian space entity ISRO, for 2020-2021 grew approximately 8% to USD 1.8 billion compared to the previous year.

All Rights Reserved. 8 India’s Space Programs and Recent Developments India’s declared policy that its space programs are non-aggressive and do not involve an anti‐satellite (ASAT) program, was contradicted in 2019 when India successfully test-fired its first ASAT missile to destroy one of their own satellites in space (see picture on left). That year the same two entities that performed the ASAT test-- the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the state-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)-- launched the first reconnaissance satellite developed to detect enemy radar and gather communications intelligence. ISRO, which falls under the Department of Space, launched in 2013 the first seven of 11 Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) satellites, three of which will domestically provide the Standard Positioning Service for civilian use and four of which will be used for encrypted and restricted service to the military. India is improving its C4ISR capability by developing the IRNSS as an alternative to U.S.‐controlled GPS, access to which is not guaranteed in all circumstances.

All Rights Reserved. 9 Overview: India’s Launch Vehicles India has two operational launch vehicles: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). GSLV family comprises the GSLV Mk II (a medium-lift category expendable launch vehicle) and GSLV Mk III (a heavy-lift launch expendable launch vehicle). Both are developed by ISRO. The GSLV Mk III makes maximum use of technologies used by the GSLV and its predecessor, the PSLV. The GSLV Mk III has been identified for ISRO’s Gaganyaan mission, which is to send a three-member crew to space for a period of five to seven days by 2022. Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. 10 Market Forecast: Space Systems India’s demand for civil and dual-use space command & control, SatComm terminals, bandwidth, and payloads (see left), is expected to grow steadily from 2021-2030-- An estimated total of at least USD 2 billion in projects through 2030.

  • Rules for the Heavens: the Coming Revolution in Space and the Laws of War
    RULES FOR THE HEAVENS: THE COMING REVOLUTION IN SPACE AND THE LAWS OF WAR John Yoo* Great powers are increasing their competition in space. Though Russia and the United States have long relied on satellites for surveillance of rival nations’ militaries and the detection of missile launches, the democratization of space through technological advancements has allowed other nations to assert greater control. This Article addresses whether the United States and other nations should develop the space-based weapons that these policies promise, or whether they should cooperate to develop new international agreements to ban them. In some areas of space, proposals for regulation have already come too late. The U.S.’s nuclear deterrent itself depends cru- cially on space: ballistic missiles leave and then re-enter the atmosphere, giving them a global reach without serious defense. As more nations develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology, outer space will become even more important as an arena for defense against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. North Korea’s progress on ICBM and nuclear technology, for example, will prompt even greater in- vestment in space-based missile defense systems. This Article makes two contributions. First, it argues against a grow- ing academic consensus in favor of a prohibition on military activities in space. It argues that these scholars over-read existing legal instruments and practice. While nations crafted international agreements to bar WMDs in outer space, they carefully left unregulated reconnaissance and commu- nications satellites, space-based conventional weapons, antisatellite sys- tems, and even WMDs that transit through space, such as ballistic missiles.

  • Daily Current Affairs 4 Novembere 2020
    TH DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS 4 NOVEMBERE 2020 GOVERNANCE ASER Survey 2020 Recently, the Annual State of Education Report (ASER) survey has been released which provides a glimpse into the levels of learning loss that students in rural India are suffering, with varying levels of access to technology, school and family resources resulting in a digital divide in education. This year, in the wake of the pandemic, the survey was conducted via phone calls, reaching 52,227 rural households with school-age children in 30 States and Union Territories (UTs). Annual Status of Education Report It is a nationwide survey of rural education and learning outcomes in terms of reading and arithmetic skills that has been conducted by the NGO Pratham for the last 15 years. It uses Census 2011 as the sampling frame and continues to be an important national source of information about children’s foundational skills across the country. ASER 2018 surveyed children in the age group of 3 to 16 years and included almost all rural districts in India and generated estimates of foundational reading and arithmetic abilities of children in the age group 5 to 16 years. ASER 2019 reported on the pre-schooling or schooling status of children in the age group 4 to 8 years in 26 rural districts, focused on the “early years” and laid emphasis on “developing problem-solving faculties and building a memory of children, and not content knowledge”. ASER 2020 is the first ever phone-based ASER survey and it was conducted in September 2020, the sixth month of national school closures.

  • The Influence of Space Power Upon History (1944-1998)*
    * The Influence of Space Power upon History (1944-1998) by Captain John Shaw, USAF * My interest in this subject grew during my experiences as an Air Force Intern 1997-98, working in both the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Space, and in SAF/AQ, Space and Nuclear Deterrence Directorate. I owe thanks to Mr. Gil Klinger (acting DUSD(Space)) and BGen James Beale (SAF/AQS) for their advice and guidance during my internships. Thanks also to Mr. John Landon, Col Michael Mantz, Col James Warner, Lt Col Robert Fisher, and Lt Col David Spataro. Special thanks to Col Simon P. Worden for his insight on this topic. A primary task of the historian is to interpret events in the course of history through a unique lens, affording the scholar a new, and more intellectually useful, understanding of historical outcomes. This is precisely what Alfred Thayer Mahan achieved when he wrote his tour de force The Influence of Sea Power upon History (1660-1783). He interpreted the ebb and flow of national power in terms of naval power, and his conclusions on the necessity of sea control to guarantee national welfare led many governments of his time to expand their naval capabilities. When Mahan published his work in 1890, naval power had for centuries already been a central determinant of national military power.1 It remained so until joined, even eclipsed, by airpower in this century. Space, by contrast, was still the subject of extreme fiction a mere one hundred years ago, when Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon and H.G.
