Despite the recent economic situations, the space industry remains robust because of the essential benefits that it provides. We see this in the US’s recent decision to emphasize commercial resupply of the International Space Station and the reallocation of fiscal resources from Space Shuttle/manned space to earth observations and exploration. Some of the other economies have stable or increasing space budgets ranging from 0.05% to 0.2% of GDP. Space programs have aspirational and motivational values attached apart from the revenue generated from development and execution of space projects. The returns more than justify utilizing taxpayers’ money in funding these projects. Manned Space Programs are now generating significant interest apart from other surveillance, monitoring and forecasting projects all over the world.
As regards involvement of Indian space industry, it has made significant contribution towards realization of subsystems required for Indian Space programme and continues to do so. International cooperation is an integral part of space activities and ISRO continues to lay importance on bilateral and multilateral relations with international space agencies and space related bodies with the aim of taking up new scientific and technological challenges, building and strengthening existing ties between countries.
This sessions talks about the motivations aspect of space programs and importance of international relation in space programs.

Since Yuri Gagarin’s flight in 1961, citizens of 38 countries, including India, have flown in space. To date, most of the individuals have been astronauts/cosmonauts, military personnel and scientists who have been extensively and expensively trained. This will continue, but we will see the emergence of “space tourism” with access to space for private individuals.. The high cost of Space Access prompts improvement in power and propulsion technology to reduce the cost of space missions. This session will include the following:
- Current and potential access to space
- Showcase current capabilities of the Launch vehicle
- Potential for commercial market and new developments from India & other parts of the world.

| Satellite communications includes satellite services, transponder leasing, ground equipment manufacturing, and satellite manufacturing. The satellite services segment of the industry contains rapidly growing, direct-to-consumer content including direct-to-home television, direct radio, wireless telephones, and data services. It is currently the most important and the most dynamic market for space applications. Satellite navigation systems are also a rapidly expanding industry. The implementation of GPS has allowed the development of a growing number of applications (air transport, maritime transport, land transport, localisation of isolated individuals) and provides as well a universal referential time and location standard for a number of systems. Satellite based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) service is of vital importance to economies and societies. This session will include discussion on the growing opportunity globally in the sector and the market strategy of companies to tap the market. |

Remote sensing products and services provide a unique perspective of the Earth, its landmasses, nations, and communities. The key component of the remote-sensing category is satellite-imaging systems although the segment also includes aerial imaging and geographical information systems. More than 80% of commercial remote sensing data is produced and purchased by governments with national security as the primary application. Commercial Companies and governments operate remote sensing satellites, and a wide range of private companies analyze and integrate imagery with other information such as road maps, store locations, pollution maps, census data, and crime statistics.
One of the major issues is the distribution of low-price or free images from public imaging systems in direct competition with commercial providers. The ownership of imaging rights is a further area of controversy. This session will feature the growing demand of remote sensing system, its application and the opportunity, which the companies are looking for in this market. |

| Small satellites have the potential to transform the space business in a way that personal computers changed the computing industry in the 1990s. With their power and flexibility, small satellites will soon make space technology more accessible for a larger and diverse number of users. Small satellites are gaining more importance these days in every country. It not only being cost-effective but also takes less time to build. Small-satellites can be custom-built for specific and narrowly-focused objectives. Flexibility is their hallmark. The ease of their launch makes them especially relevant to time-urgent missions like dealing with natural disasters. Small satellite can replace larger satellites going forward. In India, ISRO has launched many small satellites mainly for the experimental purposes like remote sensing, atmospheric studies, payload development, orbit controls, recovery technology etc. This session will feature importance of small satellite, role of ISRO, India and other countries in the same and how the companies are looking opportunity in this market. |

Space ventures promise an evolving sector with huge returns. But the execution risks are too high. Risk elements involved in space sector are related to technological, industrial, commercial, financial, legal / legislative and in particular insurance. The time is ripe to share the risk/returns with other stakeholders who wish to enter Space Business including Venture Capital, insurance companies, individuals etc. We may discover new models on the way.
This sessions talks about risks involved in space programs, risk mitigation strategies and role of private participation/venture capital in funding the projects. |
