India aims to build the space sector into a $50 billion economy by 2024, which will contribute 1% to India’s gross domestic product (GDP) (Pandey, 2022). The Indian space market now comprises government institutions, startup companies, and private players to expand in the field of small satellites, launch vehicles, space communication, and architecture. Looking at this boom in the Space Industry, the Indian Space Research Institute is proposed at Kaksa, West Bengal as a part of the Bachelor of Architecture Thesis. The institute brings together space education, a space research facility, a space startup incubator, and a kid’s space museum inside a single campus.
