IN-SPACe transfers 10 key ISRO technologies to 6 Indian firms
The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) has transferred ten indigenously developed ISRO technologies to six Indian firms to boost the space ecosystem.
IN-SPACe transfers 10 key ISRO technologies
The agreements were signed at IN-SPACe's Ahmedabad headquarters in a tripartite arrangement with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) and the recipient companies.
This initiative aims to promote industry participation across all segments of the space value chain while reducing reliance on imported technologies, especially in critical sectors such as satellite launches, ground infrastructure, and geospatial applications.
This news comes just days after Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) signed a Rs 511-crore agreement to own, operate, and market ISRO’s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV), to expand the role of private players in India’s space mission.
“ISRO has a flourishing repository of R&D in space technologies, and it is time we leverage that to the optimum to strengthen India’s space industrial ecosystem. In that effort, industry-led innovation will play a key role”, said Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe.
The two advanced inertial sensors, the Laser Gyroscope and the Ceramic Servo Accelerometer, developed by ISRO’s Inertial Systems Unit, are among the ones transferred.
These technologies were handed over to Zetatek Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad.
In the midstream segment, three ground station technologies, including the S/X/Ka tri-band dual circular polarised monopulse feed and tri-axis antenna control systems, were transferred to Hyderabad-based Avantel and Jisnu Communications.
For downstream applications, two geospatial decision-support models from ISRO’s Space Applications Centre, facilitating precision farming and agricultural decision-making, were transferred to Amnex Info Technologies in Ahmedabad.
Furthermore, a compact, multi-parameter bathymetry system designed by ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre was also transferred to Jalkruti Water Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in Ahmedabad.
The system supports UAV-based water-resource monitoring.
Ramdev Chemicals, Ahmedabad, received a ceramic-based flame-proof coating technology from Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre to utilise in launch vehicles.
The tripartite Technology Transfer Agreements (TTAs) were signed between NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the recipient firms, and IN-SPACe at IN-SPACe’s headquarters in Ahmedabad, marking a new era of public-private collaboration in India’s space journey.
