NSIL aims at launching satellites at competitive rates for the international market (Representative image)
BENGALURU: With eyes firmly set on the global launch market, space PSU New Space India Limited (NSIL) is devising strategies including offering competitive prices comparable with SpaceX to acquire new business and become the go-to launch service provider.
While it’ll begin India’s 2021 space launch season with a dedicated foreign satellite on February 28, NSIL has inked deals for three more dedicated satellites with a company from a Southeast Asian country.
NSIL executive director Radhakrishnan Durairaj said: “Contract confidentiality prevents us from naming the company and country, but agreements are for three Earth imaging satellites, two of which will be launched in the first half of 2022 and one in 2023. Also, we are also in talks with a host of small satellite firms globally.”
