ISRO Extends Support to Boost India’s Space Startup Ecosystem
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has extended significant support to boost India’s space startup ecosystem. This initiative was highlighted by the successful suborbital launch of the Agnibaan SOrTeD mission by the Indian startup Agnikul Cosmos, with ISRO providing extensive technical assistance. Key ISRO facilities, including the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, and the ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network, played crucial roles in various aspects of the mission, from location selection and safety planning to engine testing and real-time tracking. This collaboration aims to strengthen India’s space economy and encourage private sector participation in space ventures.
