Voyager Space announced the signing
of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NewSpace
India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of the Indian
Space Research Organization (ISRO), to foster
collaboration in spacecraft launch and deployment
opportunities on-board NSIL's Small Satellite Launch
Vehicle (SSLV) and Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
(PSLV).
Under this MOU, Voyager Space and
NSIL will explore launch and deployment opportunities
for small satellites orbited by SSLV and PSLV. The two
organizations will also study the use of space qualified
components from NSIL in support of spacecraft
manufacturing, deployment, operations, and other areas
of interest.
ISRO's state-of-the-art launch
infrastructure and NSIL's experience in delivering
payloads to orbit expands access to space for Voyager's
global customer base. Voyager Space has previously flown
customer satellites on two PSLV missions.
Clay Mowry, Chief Revenue Officer
at Voyager Space stated, "We are thrilled to embark on
this collaborative journey with NewSpace India Limited.
This partnership is a unique opportunity as we join
forces to drive innovation and advancement in the small
satellite launch industry. We look forward to growing
Voyager's presence in India and providing additional
opportunities for our customers."
NSIL Chairman and Managing Director
Radhakrishnan shared, "We are delighted to enter into
this alliance with Voyager Space. India's space industry
is open for business, and we are proud to serve the
rapidly growing global small satellite launch service
market. By working together, we will create a synergy
that accelerates the development of a commercial space
economy in India and abroad."
