The Philosophy of Space Policy. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Philosophy of Space Policy

Space activities by governmental agencies require considerable state funding and bear long gestation periods with uncertainty in results. This necessitates the development of a directional policy defining long-term goals, embodying national aspirations, and envisaging techno-possibilities for manufacturing and operations. This book offers hints for such policy-making and also explores other alternatives to enable clarity for internal constituency and international posturing

The first section of this work discusses philosophical perspectives, namely – theoretical, theological, ethical and auditorial. The second section offers options and initiatives as alternatives or adjuncts to space policy. The subject matter in this book also includes a case study of India. It narrates a brief history of national space activities and the journey of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), besides providing a futuristic vision for India and its global stance.
