Having crossed the rubicon, it can join the conversations along with other established space powers to ensure that space remains weapons-free.
Anti-Satellite (ASAT) technology continues to proliferate in terms of both weapons and dual-use technologies. The three major powers-the US, Russia and China-have proven ASAT capabilities while several other space-faring nations are working on securing such assets. This Paper assesses the implications for India. It argues that ASAT technology will give the country significant asymmetric capabilities and prove to be an effective deterrent against
ASAT weapons, while useful to knock out communications and imaging satellites, are not all that effective against those flying at higher orbits.
The recent sharing of views on space security, prompted by a UN resolution, has highlighted that legally binding treaties and non-binding norms are no
The absence of earnest multilateral discussions could send more states down the path of space weaponization, making access to space increasingly tricky.
Even as the war of words continues, there will need to be practical measures to deal with the increasing threats to space.
Continued peace and access to outer space is not a given if current trends of space weaponization continue.
Along with space arms race, the China-Russia emphasis has been on placement of weapons in outer space. But the bigger challenge today is ground-based weapons that can target assets in outer space, which has heightened the fears about weaponisation of outer space.
The recent multiplication of space actors, whether States or non-government entities, as well as assets and activities, became a game-changer for law-

The U.K. proposal emphasizes a bottom-up approach and stresses trust-building. It’s a critical first step.
The fact that the Chandrayaan spacecraft will be landing on the south pole, a region that has been unexplored before makes it even more special. The fact that the exact spot for landing will be determined right before the landing makes it an extremely complex mission for India.
India and Japan unite over Beijing's moon landings and antisatellite weapons
It appears that China would continue to augment its growing cyber warfare capabilities. And when complimented with an "Informationised" military and technologies like the ASAT weapons, it becomes a great concern not only for the U.S but also for India.
The risks posed by China’s military space programme is primarily to other more capable powers such as the US using space as a force multiplier.
Indias reliance on outer space has become critical in its social and economic growthstories in addition to its transformative impact in the national security context. With growingreliance comes vulnerability to adversarial attempts to harm Indias capabilities, particularlyfrom the new threat of cyber warfare. Even as countries including India have debated the need todevelop certain counter-space capabilities, such as demonstration of an ASAT capa
India is seen as a bridging power that can narrow the divide between the developed and developing countries through the use and regulation of new and
Progress will probably require developing small, technical agreements given that big, all-encompassing agreements have proven too difficult under current international circumstances.

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is a very specific subfield, but an increasingly important one for safeguarding space operations.
The country has just a little over a dozen satellites for military purposes whereas China probably has 10x as many.
This report builds on the discussions during the 5th ORF Kalpana Chawla Space Policy Dialogue 2019 organised by ORF. The report has three sections: the first covers questions of strategy in space; the second discusses policy dimensions; and the final one explores the role of private enterprises in the space domain. While some sections may include global perspectives, the report views the various challenges in space primarily from an Indian standp
Reports of a tabletop war game speak to India’s ongoing efforts to develop its space policy.

While a recent test is no doubt historic, New Delhi has much work left to do to address the challenges that remain.
Now that India has successfully demonstrated its ASAT capability, it should play an important role in mitigating problems such as space debris, space traffic management, orbital frequency issues and other issues.
Potential norms against ASAT tests can be used to hold states liable for possible damages
India is developing appropriate capabilities to tackle the new and emerging space security challenges in outer space.
The space domain has changed in significant ways in the last two decades, not only because of a multitude of new players but also the increasing incap
There are genuine concerns that if steps are not taken to halt the current trend toward space weaponization, space could become an active warfighting domain.
