New Delhi: From helping machines to talk to each other to monitoring the health of the earth, the private sector satellites launched onboard Indian Space Research Organisation’s PSLV C-54 mission on Saturday are set to write a new chapter as space sector reforms take root in the country.
Besides the Earth Observation-06 satellite of ISRO, the PSLV C-54 mission also placed in orbit six other satellites including Anand, developed by Bengaluru-based Pixxel, Thybolt 1&2 built by Hyderabad-based DhruvaSpace and four nanosatellites for Switzerland-based Astrocast which is building constellation of satellites dedicated to Internet of Things (IoT).
The PSLV also placed in orbit India-Bhutan SAT, jointly developed with Bhutan, that will provide high resolution images to the Himalayan nation to better manage its natural resources.(PTI)
