Technology Transfer by IN-SPACe and ISRO

The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) facilitated the transfer of ten cutting-edge technologies developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to six Indian industries. This initiative targets the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the space sector.

Objectives

• Empower private players to access ISRO's space-related technologies for commercial use in various sectors.
• Enhance industry participation and indigenization.
• Reduce reliance on foreign technologies for satellite launch, ground station infrastructure, and geospatial applications.

Technologies Transferred

• Advanced Inertial Sensors:
  • Laser Gyroscope and Ceramic Servo Accelerometer developed by ISRO’s Inertial Systems Unit.
• Ground Station Operations Technologies:
  • S/X/Ka tri-band dual circular polarised monopulse feed.
  • Tri-axis antenna control servo system.
  • Ku/C/L and S Band Cassegrain feed.
• Geospatial Models:
  • Pest forewarning and semi-physical crop yield estimation models.
• Bathymetry System:
  • Compact, multi-parameter, portable system for UAV-based water resource monitoring.
• Ceramic-Based Flame-Proof Coating Technology:
  • Originally for launch vehicle applications, now for wider industrial use.

This transfer marks a pivotal step toward building indigenous capabilities in India, with IN-SPACe, ISRO, and NSIL providing comprehensive support for successful technology absorption.
