Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN–SPACe or INSPACe) is a single-window autonomous agency under the Department of Space of the Government of India. The Centre acts as a facilitator and regulator of space activities in India.
History[edit]
The establishment of IN–SPACe was announced in June 2020 by the Minister of State for Space Jitendra Singh,[1] with the Union Cabinet approving its creation.[1][2][3] In the same month Secretary (Space) and chairperson of the Indian Space Research Organisation, Kailasavadivoo Sivan, said that it would take up to six months to operationalise IN–SPACe,[1][2][3][4] with the Department of Space handling its functions in the meantime.[1][2][3]
Functions[edit]
IN–SPACe will act as a link between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and private sector companies, assessing "how best to utilise India’s space resources and increase space-based activities."[4] The centre will evaluate demands of private sector companies—including educational institutes—and will find ways to attune their demands, in consultation with ISRO.[4] Sivan told that the centre's decisions would be binding on both ISRO and private sector organisations.[2][3] The space sector was earlier regulated by ISRO, but, now the organisation will focus on its core activity of research and development.[1][4]
Organisation[edit]
According to Secretary (Space) and chairperson of ISRO, Kailasavadivoo Sivan, IN–SPACe will be an autonomous body, parallel to ISRO with its own board—with some members from the private sector—and chairperson.[1][3] The centre "will have its own directorates for technical, legal, safety and security, monitoring and activities promotion."[1][3]
