Why satellites like the EOS-3, unsuccessfully launched in August, are important instruments for the military
The planned launch of satellites in the coming year and beyond by the ISRO does not include small satellites.
The past decade has witnessed the proliferation of small satellite technology in various domains including the military, academe and commerce. is paper explores the idea of utilising small satellites technology (of the order weighing less than 150kg) for specic aspects of India's space security interests. It will describe some of the programmes and missions of global leaders in space security, and examine specic applications of small satellite te
In 2017, India launched a record 104 satellites into space. Barring one, the rest of the satellites that were launched were small satellites.
Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the In

The recent multiplication of space actors, whether States or non-government entities, as well as assets and activities, became a game-changer for law-
Recent reports about Russia's experiments with new space technology have set off alarm bells in countries worldwide
China has a space lab in orbit and it also plans to launch 100 satellites during its on-going five year plan from 2011-15. Twenty space craft will be launched this year including its third lunar probe and a manned space craft that will dock with China's space lab. There are indications that, by 2020, China may have more than 200 space craft in orbit accounting for about one-fifth of the world's total.
The sporadic and uncontrolled launch of thousands of new mega-constellations put outer space security and safety at risk.
The entry of commercial enterprises or other state-owned enterprises can help augment the capacities of Indian space launch vehicle technology
From a strategic perspective, the successful launch of the GSLV means India is self-reliant in the area of satellite launching, including heavier satellites. This also means that India will not have to depend on foreign agencies to carry their heavier payloads.
The country has just a little over a dozen satellites for military purposes whereas China probably has 10x as many.
ASAT weapons, while useful to knock out communications and imaging satellites, are not all that effective against those flying at higher orbits.
India's GSLV launch is significant both from the commercial and strategic perspectives. In addition to the large number of domestic satellites ready to be launched using the heavier launch vehicle, a successful launch will also mean India's ability to cash in on the large lucrative foreign satellite launch market.
If India were able to sustain the launches of remote sensing satellites as per the plans, it would significantly beef up its ability to deliver services, products and other inputs in the field of climate, cartography and agriculture.
Apart from training, the Indian Armed Services need Small Satellites for net-centric missions.
NavIC 2.0 not only fortifies India's defence capabilities but also places it on par with leading nations in global satellite navigation
Compared to other countries, where does India stand in the launch of this category of satellites?
NavIC केवळ भारताची संरक्षण क्षमताच बळकट करत नाही तर उपग्रह न
The concept of ‘intelligence’ immediately brings to mind a covert world of spies, secrets, and classified documents. That might have been true in the past, but in the current age, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is gaining prominence. OSINT is intelligence based on information that is publicly available and processed by any interested party, and complements traditional intelligence while providing greater situational awareness to a range of
India's venture into space security, intertwined with defence readiness, necessitates a comprehensive and well-structured national strategy
A new space race is indeed warming up Asia, as China and India rapidly scale up their space programmes and build ties with the developing world.
Over four billion people do not have access to Internet; that makes a huge two-thirdsof the global population. In India, around four of every five people lack this basic resource. Variousaccess technologies are being developed in different parts of the world to bridge the digital divide.Amongst these technologies, the emergence of small satellites carries immense promise. Thesesatellites are used for applications ranging from remote sensing to co
With the U.S. having shut down one of its major Space situational awareness networks, major Spacefaring powers need to make it a priority to contemplate possible solutions to track satellites and orbital debris on a continued basis.
The Chinese spy balloons are a deceptively simple aerial surveillance tool that even the US admitted to failing to detect before the recent missile hit. India needs to up its game in this department
