| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past five decades, India has progressed to create one of the largest national space programs in the world, delivering space-based technology to solve the problems of man and society. The present work provides an overview of current trends regarding industry participation in the national space program of India. While insight into industry participation and upstream activity is provided in the space transportation and development of satellite systems, commercial aspects of satellite communication services, use of geospatial data, and navigation and timing services are addressed as a part of the downstream applications. Specific recommendations to expand the footprint of the participation of Indian industry in the utilization of space technology nationally with possible expansion internationally are provided herein for space program managers and policymakers for both the upstream and downstream activities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Space power is a relatively nascent discourse that is gaining importance globally. This article examines India’s space program within the global context in order to understand the shifting power balance in the space arena. The article first clarifies contextual variants of the definition of power, recalibrating those formulations to the space context. This is followed by an examination of the Indian space program—its evolution historically, current limitations, and increasing relevance today. Space is a versatile domain and, due to its interconnected nature, it impacts the world. Hence, this article also examines global engagements and collaborative efforts being made across borders, and the strategic modalities involved in traversing such sensitive diplomatic terrain. Finally, the article concludes by reiterating the soft power and hard power potentials of the space arena, whose versatility contributes towards intrinsic national growth and extrinsic power projections.
