Last updated 25 March 2026

As Singapore continues to advance our position as a global hub for innovation and technology, space will be part of our vision for the future. Singapore’s Space Sector: Next Bound of Development announced on 26 February 2025 sets out how Singapore will address the priorities of strengthening our national capabilities in space and creating pathways for Singapore to participate in and contribute to the rapidly growing global space economy.

Singapore: The Place for Space

Our Journey
Singapore’s space journey dates back several decades with the installation of our first satellite ground station on Sentosa in 1971 and the launch of our first communications satellite in 1998.  The Office for Space Technology & Industry, Singapore (OSTIn) was established in 2013 to drive the development of small satellite capabilities, with an expanded mandate in 2020 to develop Singapore’s space industry, foster innovation, and grow international partnerships.

As a leading global hub for businesses and space-adjacent sectors such as aerospace, microelectronics and precision engineering, Singapore is well placed to capitalise on global momentum in the space sector. This includes the use of space technologies to enhance communications and connectivity services, as well as to drive innovation in the green and digital economy, strengthening Singapore’s business competitiveness.

Singapore’s Space Sector: Next Bound of Development articulates the next stage of Singapore’s space journey as OSTIn, and now the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS), amplifies our national pursuit to harness the tremendous potential of space technologies and unlock new opportunities in the space economy.
