“India, Pakistan, Türkiye, and Central Asian Turkic states are investing in space-related technologies, collaborating on space initiatives, and even constructing launch facilities.” Opinion | Amna Kalhoro
Space exploration is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers. It has always been a global commons, and this global commons is currently being explored by other developing countries with the potential to change the nature of outer space.
However, Nigeria and Rwanda were the first African nations to ratify the Artemis Accords. The US government signed this agreement with the support of 23 other countries in order to promote peaceful space exploration. The US-based commercial enterprise SpaceX helped South Africa launch its satellite using a Falcon 9 rocket.
Meanwhile, Türkiye plays an active role due to its rapid collaboration with international space agencies to launch and develop its own satellites. The Turkish government’s most recent success is tied to space-based technologies, including the Turkish GPS, improvements in computer cameras, four satellite launch sites, and the high-resolution Gokturk 3 satellites.
Looking towards South Asia, the Indian space vision is fundamentally based on cooperation in space. Their main goal is collaborating with developing nations to replace the international space station with something akin to it. India has over 230 agreements with 60 countries and five international organisations, including anything from satellite construction to capacity building.
