BRICS+ Space Launch Cooperation Framework: Advancing Strategic Autonomy in the Global Space Economy

The global space economy is entering a new competitive era—and BRICS+ is positioning itself as a formidable collective force. This report delivers a strategic analysis of how BRICS+ nations are developing a coordinated space launch cooperation framework to enhance technological self-reliance, reduce dependence on Western providers, and capture a larger share of the global space market.

Leveraging India’s cost-effective launch capabilities, alongside China’s heavy-lift capacity and Russia’s expertise in human spaceflight, BRICS+ is building an integrated ecosystem spanning satellite deployment, remote sensing, and data-sharing platforms. The report highlights key initiatives such as the BRICS Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation, proposed BRICS Space Council, and joint satellite missions aimed at strengthening disaster management, environmental monitoring, and security cooperation.

It further examines critical challenges including geopolitical tensions, regulatory constraints, infrastructure disparities, and reliance on external technologies, while presenting scenario-based insights into the bloc’s path toward orbital autonomy and commercial expansion.
