Our Vision & Mission

Our Vision

A spacefaring nation that harnesses the full potential of space.

Our Mission

Advance space capabilities to strengthen how Singapore and the world lives, moves, connects and thrives.

Our Mandate

1. Develop and Operate National Space Capabilities. NSAS will identify and develop space programmes to serve national needs across government agencies. The Singapore government currently co-owns three Earth Observation satellites with ST Engineering to meet both government and commercial needs. Going forward, NSAS will explore further developing the constellation to meet future national requirements and use cases in the Equatorial region. NSAS will also set up a multi-agency operations centre that will support government agencies with satellite tasking and geospatial data analytics. In addition, NSAS will develop and operate space situational awareness capabilities, to ensure the safety of our space assets in an increasingly congested space environment.

2. Strengthen Our R&D Ecosystem. NSAS will continue to invest steadily to build world-class indigenous space capabilities. Since 2022, the Government has set aside S$210 million for space projects through the Space Technology Development Programme, supporting research institutes and companies to develop and launch their payloads and test their technologies in space. Beyond this, R&D investments into adjacent sectors such as AI, robotics, and quantum technologies also contribute to the development of space and space-enabled capabilities.

3. Develop Our Space Industry. NSAS will continue to develop a thriving local space industry, through initiatives such as the Space Access Programme to help companies validate technologies in space and to enter new markets through international partnerships. NSAS will also seek to attract space companies from around the world to establish their base in Singapore, as a launchpad to scale across Asia and beyond.

4. Advance International Partnerships. NSAS will continue to expand Singapore’s international partnerships with like-minded partners, to pursue collaborations in priority areas and facilitate connections between our space ecosystems. NSAS will also deepen partnerships with countries across the Equatorial Belt and with fellow emerging space nations in ASEAN and globally, to collaborate on critical issues like the long-term sustainability of outer space.

5. Enact National Space Legislation. NSAS will be responsible for legislation and regulation of Singapore’s space sector. Building upon the new Guidelines for Singapore-Related Space Activities established in 2024, the NSAS will engage players in Singapore’s space ecosystem on plans for national space legislation that is pro-innovation and pro-business, while meeting high standards for space safety and space sustainability.

Our Logo

The National Space Agency of Singapore is founded on a single reframe: space isn't distant, it's already here. Invisible and essential, it shapes how we live, move, connect and thrive. The brand — anchored by the line "Spaceborne, Earthready" — captures the moment two realms converge, where what's born in orbit becomes tangible impact on Earth. Intersecting forms, celestial light, and atmospheric colour give this duality a unique visual language.

The logo is built from a single letter: S — for Singapore, for Space. Multiplied into a globe-like form, it creates its own world. Embedded in the form are two truths drawn from orbit itself — the vertical path of the sun-synchronous orbits, and the horizontal band of the equatorial belt. Together, the brand stands for something quietly radical: that space shapes the world — and Singapore is ready to shape what comes next.
