“It seems to be a good policy, they’ve covered a lot of ground, and this is by and large in tune with global policies,” said Ajey Lele, senior fellow in Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA), leading think tank for defence and strategy research.
The Draft National Space Transportation Policy<\/a>, 2020, unveiled early this week allows local private space<\/a> technology companies to build or lease launch pads for the purpose of launching their rockets into space. It also proposes for rocket companies<\/a> to use their own land or sea-based mobile launchers, besides experimenting with launching satellites and spacecrafts from the air.
Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) will be the nodal authority for all commercial space-related activities for Indian space technology companies.
“Any Indian entity is required to seek authorisation from IN-SPACe to establish and operate a launch site and to undertake the launching of space object(s) from a designated launch site,” the draft policy reads. “The authorisation is required even if an Indian entity is establishing a launch site or undertaking a launch outside the territory of India.”
Industry executives particularly welcomed the move to make IN-SPACe – envisioned as a nodal agency for the government to liaise with space technology companies – for companies to get all approvals required for spaceflight.
“It’s like a single window system where IN-SPACe is the only authority involved, which is awesome from a paperwork standpoint,” said Srinath Ravichandran, cofounder and CEO of Agnikul Cosmos<\/a>, a Chennai-based startup developing launch vehicles.
“They’ve also clearly stated what they’ll be asking, so for anyone building a launch port or launch vehicle like us, we already know what they expect,” Ravichandran said.
The draft policy stipulates the exact requirements for IN-SPACe to grant authorisations for each of the activities, including technical, safety and compliance requirements, leaving no ambiguity for companies.
Naga Bharath Daka, cofounder and COO of Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace<\/a>, said the draft policy covers “all plausible scenarios of operation” for a private launch vehicle company like his firm.
“It would have been helpful if more clarity was provided with regard to timeline for processing respective applications and also clarity regarding indemnity caps with regard to insurance cover needed towards fulfilment of national and third-party liabilities,” Daka said.
The main concern experts raised is timely implementation of the policy.
“This should not be only departmental exercise,” said Lele of MP-IDSA. “After the draft is finalised, it should quickly move to the cabinet and the final approvals should be taken. Only then the policy will have some teeth.”
This is the third draft policy that the Department of Space<\/a> has released since India opened its space sector to private companies last year. Earlier, it had released draft policies for satellite communications and remote sensing.
The department has invited comments on the draft space transportation policy till July 21.
In the case of a launch outside India, the policy requires companies to comply and receive approvals from administrations in the territory where the launch will be performed.
The policy also clearly calls out requirements for authorisation of financial liabilities or insurance cover by space technology companies, towards the fulfilment of India’s liabilities as per international space agreements.
For launch sites outside the territory of India, the policy states that IN-SPACe or the Union of India will not bear any liability for the same.

印度的计划允许太空公司建造火箭发射点发动一样好,行业说
国家太空运输政策草案,2020年,本周初公布了允许当地的私人航天技术公司构建或租赁发射台发射的火箭送入太空的目的
读到
印度允许的计划空间的创业公司和私人企业建立自己的发射点发动发射火箭将大力推动的行业如果在短时间内实现,专家们说。
“这似乎是一个好的政策,他们已经涵盖了很多内容,这是大体上符合全球政策,“Ajey乐乐说,高级研究员马诺Parrikar防务分析研究所(MP-IDSA),国防和战略研究的领先智库。
的国家太空运输政策草案本周初,2020年公布了允许本地私有的空间科技公司建立或租赁发射台发射的火箭送入太空的目的。它还提出了火箭的公司使用自己的土地或海基移动发射器,除了尝试从空中发射卫星和航天器。
印度国家太空促销和授权中心(太空)将印度与空间节点权限为所有商业活动空间技术公司。
“任何印度实体需要寻求授权从太空建立和运营一个发射地点,进行发射的空间对象(s)从一个指定的发射地点,“政策草案。“即使印度需要授权实体建立发射地点或印度境外进行发射。”
业内高管特别欢迎这一举动让太空——设想作为一个节点为政府机构联系空间技术公司——为航天公司获得所有必需的批准。
“这就像一个窗口系统,太空是唯一的权威,这是很棒的从工作的角度来看,“说Srinath Ravichandran,创始人兼首席执行官Agnikul宇宙,一个常驻创业发展运载火箭。
“他们也明确表示他们会问,所以对于任何建筑发射端口或运载火箭像我们一样,我们已经知道他们期望什么,“Ravichandran说。
太空政策草案规定的要求给予授权的活动,包括技术、安全性和遵从性需求,导致公司没有歧义。
娜迦族Bharath长河,海得拉巴的联合创始人和首席运营官Skyroot航空草案说,政策涵盖了“操作的所有合理的场景”私人运载火箭公司喜欢他的公司。
“它会有助于更明确提供了关于处理各自的应用程序和时间表也清晰关于赔偿上限对保险需要对实现国家和第三方的责任,“长河说。
主要是专家提出的问题及时落实政策。
“这个不应该只有部门锻炼,”MP-IDSA乐乐说。”草案完成后,应迅速转移到内阁应该采取和最后的批准。只有政策将有一些牙齿。”
这是第三个政策草案部门的空间发布了自印度去年向私营企业开放空间领域。早些时候,政策草案公布的卫星通信和遥感。
国务院已邀请评论太空运输政策草案直到7月21日。
在发射印度以外的情况下,政策要求企业遵守和收到政府批准在香港推出将被执行。
的政策也明确要求要求授权金融负债或保险覆盖的空间技术公司,向实现印度的负债按国际空间协议。
境外网站推出的印度,印度的国家太空政策或工会将不承担任何责任。
