Abstract Often regarded as a recent entrant into the space arena, India is, in fact, an “early adopter” of space technology. Its space programme has deep roots, and it is nearly as old as those of the two superpowers. Yet, India’s place in the realm of the major space powers is unique in the ways in which this country has sought to use its space programme. In sharp contrast to the United States, the Soviet Union and China, India’s initial space priorities did not revolve around the pursuit of national security objectives, but were rather expressions of a leading-edge vision about exploiting space for lifting India’s people out of poverty and escaping dependency positions with advanced nations through technological leapfrogging. For India’s space leaders, space was primarily intended as a very useful tool for addressing the many socio-economic issues facing a huge and developing country.
