Spaceport SARABHAI

Spaceport SARABHAI (S2) is India's 1st dedicated space think tank. S2 embraces the multi-dimensional nature of human space endeavors comprising not just science, technology, policy, and law—but also—history, anthropology, economics, environment, sociology, psychology, contemporary culture, art, architecture, design, archaeology, and more. S2 Mission: • Give India an international voice as a leading spacefaring nation • Grow the body of knowledge that informs critical areas of space policy • Provide policy guidance to the government through rigorous research, stakeholder feedback, opinion pieces, and private outreach • Transform India into a developed space economy by 2030 • Build public perspective through writings, discussions, and debates S2 is conceived as a launchpad for ideas for a shared future. The name pays homage to the founder of India's space program: Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a physicist, a visionary, a renaissance man who believed that our cosmic commons can be used for the welfare of humankind and the biosphere of which we are a fractional part. Spaceport SARABHAI is a metaphor for an imagined place in outer space, where thought-leaders-n-practitioners touchdown to exchange ideas, points of view, and visions for the future. Based in Bangalore, S2 has satellite presence in New Delhi, Berlin, Boston, and Sendai.
