This paper proposes to analyze the debate on space policy and space strategy in general, based on works by selected authors who also discuss the military use of space resources, as well as the importance of space control for strategic decisions and of space power analogy with maritime and air power. Based on that, it intends to briefly analyze the thinking of the authors who approach this issue in the Republic of India and to verify how they understand the development of these capacities within the country, in a regional context of tensions and disputes with countries like China and Pakistan, as examples.
