PM Narendra Modi on Friday congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation for efficiently launching three Singaporean satellites into space. The Indian space corporation lifted off the three payloads in a textbook launch onboard its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
“The PSLV C53 mission has executed a new milestone by launching two payloads of Indian startups in Space. Congratulations
@INSPACeIND and @isro for enabling this venture,” Modi tweeted, adding that he is confident that many larger Indian companies will reach space in the future.
The spacecraft on Thursday carried DS-EO satellite, NeuSAR, a one hundred and fifty-five kg satellite, and Scoob-1 of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. This was the 2nd launch mission for Isro in the yr and used to be the 2nd industrial launch for the Indian house agency.
The spacecraft that lifted from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota carried six payloads such as two from Indian house start-ups — Digantara and Dhruva Space — enabled via IN-SPACe and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL). With the launch of the world’s smallest digital space weather sensor for monitoring space weather, Digantara, an area tech startup has taken a massive jump towards constructing its area infrastructure to grant a one-stop complete house situational recognition solution.
“Just as terrestrial navigation offerings are imperative for the floor logistic sector, serving as an infrastructure layer for agencies such as Uber, we can leverage Space – MAPs skills closer to presenting an infrastructure layer for superb area operations,” CEO of Digantara Anirudh Sharma said.
