“…In April 1972, ISRO and CNES agreed to establish a Joint Commission to initiate and follow up cooperative programmes (Prasad, 2015). A little later, French space agency CNES facilitated help from the company Societe European de Propulsion (SEP) to India in establishing its solid rocket motor test facility at Sriharikota (Nagappa, 2014).…”

“…One of the outcomes of the specific agreement was the in-house training of ISRO scientists in Germany during the 1973–1981 period which also facilitated, among others, the establishment of the High Altitude Test (HAT) facility for ground testing solid rocket motors at Sriharikota in the simulated ambience of space (Nagappa, 2014, p. 169). Besides, the utilisation of the Franco-German Symphonie satellite by India for its STEP experiment during 1977–1979 further strengthened the cooperation.…”

“…286–294). Many scientists from SSTC had short-term training in sounding-rocket technology at the Japanese Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) (Nagappa, 2014, p. 15). Around that time, Japan also provided the essential electronic equipment to India’s Experimental Satellite Communications Earth Station (ESCES) established at Ahmadabad as part of United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) assistance to India for that endeavour (Harvey, Smid, & Pirard, 2000, p. 149).…”

India has now emerged as a major space-faring nation with notable accomplishments in the launch vehicle, satellite, space application and space exploration domains in spite of beginning its space programme from a disadvantageous position vis-à-vis other space-faring nations of the day, besides endeavouring entirely in the civilian domain. International cooperation played an important role during the genesis and the early evolution of the Indian space programme and has played a complimentary role during the progressive accumulation of India’s current space capabilities. Once a recipient of assistance in the domain of space, in the new millennium, India has achieved the status of an equal and even a major partner in some of the joint space endeavours with its erstwhile benefactors and has established facilities for training space personnel from developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region. This article critically reviews India’s international space cooperation endeavour in the past five decades and its influence on the country’s current space capabilities.
