Six Indian Firms Secure 10 ISRO Technologies Under IN-SPACe Agreements
Tripartite agreements among ISRO, NSIL, IN-SPACe empower private firms to manufacture state-of-the-art space technologies under dedicated support
Overview
- IN-SPACe formalized Technology Transfer Agreements at its Ahmedabad headquarters on July 3, marking the handover of ten state-of-the-art space technologies to six private firms.
- Key upstream transfers include advanced inertial sensors—a laser gyroscope and a ceramic servo accelerometer—to Hyderabad-based Zetatek Technologies for potential satellite launch vehicle use.
- Avantel and Jisnu Communications acquired three ground-station technologies, including an S/X/Ka tri-band dual circular-polarised monopulse feed, a tri-axis antenna control servo system and a Ku/C/L and S-band Cassegrain feed, to bolster domestic infrastructure.
- On the downstream front, ISRO’s geospatial models for pest forewarning and semi-physical crop yield estimation were transferred to Amnex Info Technologies, a portable multi-parameter bathymetry system went to Jalkruti Water Solutions and ceramic-based flame-proof coatings were acquired by Ramdev Chemicals for industrial applications.
- ISRO, IN-SPACe and NSIL will jointly provide comprehensive handholding support to ensure successful indigenisation and commercial deployment of the transferred technologies.
