India-U.S. space cooperation, from handshake to hug

The Hindu  

India and the United States agreeing to advance space collaboration in several areas, under the ‘initiative on critical and emerging technology’ umbrella, including human space exploration and commercial space partnership, comes at a crucial time for both countries. A mismatch in interests, capabilities The first structural factor that limits long-term India-U.S. space cooperation is the mismatch in the two nations’ interests in outer space. The Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme hopes to sustain India’s human presence in space for the long term. One form of cooperation is a partnership between state and private entities; or, as agreed in the most recent meeting, a convention of American and Indian aerospace companies to advance collaboration under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services programme. This setup could accelerate India’s human spaceflight programme and give the U.S. an opportunity to accommodate Indian interests in earth orbits.
