- Abstract
This article discusses the need for India's Department of Space (DOS) to develop a strategy of space resilience to increase the ease of military and commercial access to space and prepare for great- power competition. The strategic environment affecting space includes external threats, emerging trends within the space domain, and the characteristics of the domestic space ecosystem. The article defines space resilience, examines its constituent concepts, and connects space resilience to commercial growth, deterrence, and great- power competition. Furthermore, it anticipates implicit risks in the strategy of space resilience. The article recommends that the DOS adopts a strategy of space resilience to create a flexible, responsive, and affordable space ecosystem with a robust industrial base to preserve access to space and deter an adversary from attempting to negate the use of space. The application of space- resilience concepts offers significant commercial and military advantages, such as widening the industrial base, creating a modular commercial off- the- shelf market, and simplifying launch technology.
