Abstract by B. Goswami: “In the past decade India has emerged as a significant space player with its increasing and expansive space operations. India having taken international obligations under the space treaties, thus ought to confirm with the principles established thereof while carrying out its space operations. At present Indian space programs essentially remain a governmental activity and this approach has been witnessed to work well until now. However, with growing interest in space, involvement of private entities remains inevitable and thus, domestic regulatory mechanisms for space activities are due since long. This chapter addresses major avenues involving space viz. launch activities, satellite telecommunications and broadcasting, remote sensing, intellectual property rights and satellite navigational services, in which India has performed extensive activity, but often lacks domestic regulations to balance the rights and obligations. Each activity is analyzed in depth along with the current state of law vis-à-vis existing international obligations to safeguard various interests at international level, through enactment of domestic laws.”
