The luxuries of the modern day living owe a lot to the services provided from outer space or passing through space. More and more nations continue to garner the benefits of space technology by initiating, strengthening, and growing their space programs; many of these new comers are from developing regions of world. Having a space program offers plenty of opportunities; however, these require high initial costs with most of gains garnered in long-term. While the nascent space powers should ideally aim for continual growth and long-term sustenance of their space program; the financial and technological constraints form major caveat, which, if not taken care of, may stagnate the growth or even endanger the long-term sustenance of space program itself. Hence, right from beginning, nascent space powers need to define a well deliberated national space policy to maintain a correct direction for times to come. This paper points towards the same need: it presents an overview of categorization of space power with a focus towards nascent space powers. Then, the economic and technological constraints have been explained that need to be catered in policy of any nascent space power. Finally, this paper deliberates several of the macro level challenges, aspects, and objectives that need focused attention from policy making institutions as well as space program managers to ensure long term sustenance of its space program.
