When the LVM3 M4/Chandrayaan-3 mission lifted off successfully from Sriharikota on Friday afternoon, it was a big moment for several government and private industries in Kerala as well.
Keltron units in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Minerals and Metals (KMML) in Kollam, and long-time industry partners of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) such as Ananth Technologies Ltd (ATL) and Kortas Industries Pvt Ltd supplied many of the components for the mission.
State government undertaking Keltron supplied 41 electronics modules and various power modules for the Chandrayaan-3 mission, according to a statement issued after the launch. Keltron also provided test and evaluation support for the project. The support for the keenly-awaited space mission came from the Keltron Equipment Complex at Karakulam and the Keltron Communication Complex at Manvila.
