INDIAN “NewSpace”…..


“Un-interrupted” future space capability is quintessential:

Space a vital tool of national governance , national security and commercial system

Committed, improving space services – EO, Satcom, Positioning etc
Building a National Space Eco-System is critical for future space success

Combinative “ISRO and industry capacity”

Space Industry System – build, own, operate space assets



Build and encourage Indian private sector in space
Space Research Eco-system – bring University into space research
Advancement for future state-of-art in space technology

Technology Acquisition

Indigenous development thru industry

Newer institutional frameworks for national-level applications delivery systems

Intensifying a two-way international cooperation is an essential step

A comprehensive National Space Governance (command) System

INDIAN SPACE – PRIVATISATION…..


SPACE INDUSTRY SYSTEM – GOALS OF MAKE-IN-INDIA VISION:

BUILD INDIAN INDUSTRY FOR SPACE

ISRO CAN ADDRESS ADVANCED TECH, DEVELOPMENT, HSF ….
LARGE DOMESTIC DEMAND FOR INDIAN SPACE ASSETS

SINGLE PUBLIC-ORGANISATION “CENTRICITY” WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET LARGE
DEMAND


INDUSTRY INNOVATION IS CRITICAL FOR FUTURE

COMMERCIAL SPACE YET TO DEVELOP
INDIAN SPACE INDUSTRY/PRODUCTS IN GLOBAL SPACE MARKET (MAKE-IN-INDIA VISION OF
INDIAN PM):


“SHARE” OF GLOBAL SPACE MARKET

COST-EFFECTIVE DESTINATION FOR SPACE MANUFACTURING

LARGE TALENT-POOL OF ENGINEERS, DESIGNERS, MANAGERS ……..
BUILDING AN INDUSTRY MODEL (10-15 YEARS):

LICENSE, DESIGN-SHARE, ACCESS TO NATIONAL FACILITIES, HR-TRANSFER

“BUY-BACK” GUARANTEES FOR NATIONAL NEEDS
