decades plus experience from space,
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)

S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
slide I have prepared.

S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So I will try my best to give some idea or insight into this
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
technology.
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)

Okay.
0:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)

Thank you.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So,
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the topic of today is this space.
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
This is the frontier.
0:55
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
This is the domain.
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And we are also trying to
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
match the rhythm.
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
from India and although me coming from Isro,
1:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Spaceward is not an exotic or a new word
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
for us but people who are there outside this
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
boundary for them this technology is apparently new and there are many ifs
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and buts and many questions,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
many curiosities are going back and forth especially
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
with the funding community like what is the
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
technology,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
how it is beneficial,
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
what kind of investment it needs,
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
when we will give back our investment,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
return on our investment,
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
what is the future potential,
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
who are the end -users,
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
how things are here in India,
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
how it can be comparable with Western countries,
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
because we are quite new into
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
this sector.
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
If you see space,
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they started in 19...
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
1957 when Russia launched the first artificial satellite names.
1:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then I think hundreds
2:03
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and thousands of satellites,
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
launch vehicles,
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
rockets and other stuffs have
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
been sent to space.
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Currently more than 2 ,000 plus satellites are there
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in space.
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think more than 25,
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
30 ,000 launch vehicle missions have been completed.
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We have human space flight programs happening since
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
1960s and 70s timeline.
2:27
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So many things are happening and where we are and why these
2:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
projects, why these missions,
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
what is these financial implications and significance.
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So today with the request of my friend Shweta,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I am here to share whatever the experience,
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
expertise I have gained my years long working in
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the hardcore.
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I can say hardcore,
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
why?
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Because the space.
2:52
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or defense these are not only soft jobs because their hardwares are involved so that is
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the reason we call this very uh out of box projects
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or i can say the hardware centered projects so the topic is india space
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
economy i will focus majorly on india only although many
3:09
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)

3:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that we can preserve some time because i was been i was told to keep the discussion
3:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
within one hour so 30 minutes or so we'll keep presentation then another
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
30 minutes question answer session and i will try my best to answer
3:46
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
your points and possible within my knowledge and expertise so
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
how the space
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
started in India that will be of course the first interest how
3:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it started why started and what for it started then
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
categorically I
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
can say maximum areas one is we
4:11
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
call the space segment anything goes to space and work there it is a satellite
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or a radar or antenna or a space station with
4:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
space segment and to carry the space to
4:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that orbit we call is a launch segment
4:29
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
launch vehicle or the rocket.
4:30
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then what else there remains?
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We call it as a ground segment,
4:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
called as a downstream segment.
4:39
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So here comes the ground center,
4:42
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
then your
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
data analytics products,
4:47
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
everything we consider in a ground segment.
4:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then next in that,
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
as I mentioned,
4:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
is the launch vehicles.
4:54
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then second is satellite.
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then another segment or vertical is human space flight.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
That is the three things I will cover.
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And I have tried my best to keep the information very crisp
5:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and in the layman's language.
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I have not put any complex or mathematical things here.
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But however,
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
any question comes very deep down into it,
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I will simply try my best to answer.
5:18
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then what are the,
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
apart from these areas,
5:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
what are the other emerging sectors slowly and gradually coming
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and staring inside these conventional areas that also I
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
have listed down a few.
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And how currently in India our policy regulations
5:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
as well as the skill ecosystem is getting built
5:38
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
to support this new commerce,
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the new industry that is paid industry within India.
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then what is the
5:46
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
financial things little bit because I don't consider myself as
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the expert but having worked in this commercial areas for
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
quite good time I have tried my best to understand how things are getting figured out
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
here
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So P &L,
6:01
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
EBITDA, CAPEX,
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
OPEX, all these things.
6:03
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think people are playing all these numbers every time.
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And I have tried to bring some numbers here to help you to understand how
6:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
this sector is gradually growing and how much the
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
growth potential it is carrying.
6:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And then I have listed down a few companies not to
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
be partial to anyone.
6:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I tried to bring few companies named startups in India who
6:27
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
are really doing a wonderful job and I think in the near future many more such
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
companies may pop up and they may add more value and economy
6:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
to our country because to become the largest economy in
6:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the world we have to invest in technologies and space
6:44
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
is one among them,
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
space tech is one among them in which the return on investment is very very huge
6:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
compared to any other engineering industries.
6:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then with this I will conclude and I will give the summary of the presentation.
6:57
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So before I go much deep down or take you go through my
7:01
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
slides, a very big news I want to share with my friends who
7:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
are here today with me.
7:07
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
This is SpaceX IPO.
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think more or less we all are aware of this news.
7:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But having said that,
7:13
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I thought also let me take the opportunity to congratulate Team SpaceX because when
7:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they started a ticket back.
7:21
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
That time space was not a bourgeois and it was within the cabinet of only
7:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
government agencies.
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So only hats up to them who has taken the courage and the
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
risk. And today it is giving the fruit on the risk,
7:33
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
what is taken.
7:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And nobody will believe that 1
7:39
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
.75 to 1 .8 trillion,
7:41
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that is almost two -third of our Indian economy.
7:43
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We are not wrong.
7:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So one space company alone has targeted,
7:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think as on yesterday,
7:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it was known that almost all they have achieved this number.
7:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Three times more subscription
7:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
happened.
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that shows the kind of potential the space sector is carrying and
8:03
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we should not be second to norm because I...
8:08
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
anticipated in the coming years from India also such kind
8:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of news also will come and in that journey I think investment
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and financing agency's role is very
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
very important which cannot be ignored of so with
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
this let me take you through my next slide that is
8:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the space of course space the technology
8:33
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
started around 1960 time
8:37
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
At that time, ISTRO was not born.
8:39
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
It was a different organization,
8:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
although it was under the government of India.
8:44
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
At that time,
8:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
everything was happening through the Atomic Energy Department.
8:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And only majorly focused on doing some scientific
8:52
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
research and launching from Tumba,
8:55
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that is a very sleepy hamlet,
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
fishing hamlet,
8:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in the very border of India at the Tirunthapuram.
9:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
It was lying in the RBNC.
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then slowly,
9:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
gradually the government put some focus here,
9:08
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
interest here.
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then our launch vehicle project started.
9:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We had our first launch vehicle named satellite launch vehicle SLB.
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
First launch was unsuccessful but subsequently become successful.
9:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And everyone of course knows about our late Dr.
9:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Epizodil Kalam who spearheaded the project.
9:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Under the able leadership of Dr.
9:27
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Satish Dhaban,
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Dr. Pranaprakas and many more.
9:30
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And the main person was behind.
9:33
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
pushing this project was our beloved ISRO chairman Dr.
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Vikram Sarawai and many more were there to name a few I think many
9:41
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
more there and I can say proudly I belong to that legacy of ISRO families where
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I could work with a few of these people and interact
9:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
with these trailblazers,
9:52
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
leaders in the sector and starting from because ISRO
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
did not start the work all the project did not start
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in ISRO for any commercial purpose,
10:01
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of course for national interest,
10:02
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
but later understanding the potential it carries and then ISRO
10:07
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
also diversified the technology,
10:09
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
made some technology of transport to private companies,
10:12
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
private companies to support the launching systems,
10:16
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
building rocket subsystem components,
10:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
satellite subsystems,
10:19
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
as well as in the data analytics area also.
10:22
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So currently more than 200 plus.
10:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
MSMEs and big industries.
10:26
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
They are working to support ISRO in all our missions.
10:30
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And they are also supporting the start -up companies about just 2 -3
10:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
bags. They set up their business in India.
10:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So in ISRO,
10:38
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
their launch division,
10:39
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
their satellite division,
10:40
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and as I mentioned,
10:41
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that we are also developing domestic industrial supplies,
10:45
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
tier 1, tier 2,
10:46
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
because the items were used in space.
10:52
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
They have to maintain a very stringent quality requirement.
10:56
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So the precision machining that I think is strongly taught in
11:00
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
India to the people that I can strongly and firmly
11:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I can tell.
11:05
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Otherwise in a country like India we are not much conscious
11:10
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
about quality but space items all they have to come through very stringent
11:14
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
quality process and fortunately this tire 2,
11:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
tire 3.
11:19
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
companies are now they are well trained and handled by isro to meet such
11:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
kind of requirements and demands ever growing demands i can say uh
11:29
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
coming to the space segment uh satellites are there which i will capture in the
11:33
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
next slide but before that i'm just going to dwell here a little bit because launch
11:37
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
vehicle is a very interesting area because that
11:41
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
is launch vehicle only carries all the items made here on
11:45
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
earth to the desired orbit in the space
11:48
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Launch vehicle can be of any kind.
11:50
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
It can be reusable,
11:53
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it can be of one -time use.
11:55
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And in one -time use,
11:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
launch vehicles are there since ages.
12:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I can say for the last 50 to 60 years,
12:03
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
agencies like ISRO,
12:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
NASA, ESA,
12:05
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and some private entities like Arianespace,
12:07
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they have been using it.
12:08
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But reusability or the reuse technology is something which
12:12
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
is there in R &D,
12:13
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in the lab,
12:14
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in the proto -model in India.
12:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But SpaceX...
12:18
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
like companies that have already demonstrated and I think they are the trailblazers
12:22
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
now.
12:22
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
SpaceX has shown how to use the first stage
12:26
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of any rocket multiple times.
12:28
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And they are using semi -cryogenic liquids that is LOX
12:33
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and methane, LOX and LNG,
12:35
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
LOX and some hydrocarbon fuels.
12:38
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that gives a low cost,
12:41
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
high efficient launch vehicle system where we can
12:45
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
leverage the profit.
12:47
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
with respect to sending any object to space because sending
12:52
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
any object to space is a costly affair and it demands
12:56
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
hundreds and lakhs of US dollars so if you can reduce
13:00
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the launch vehicle design development realization cost of course it can leverage
13:04
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the overall cost of sending any item to space if it's a humans
13:08
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or the satellites or any experimental objects
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Another thing comes into picture is materials,
13:14
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
because still we can say that many
13:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
materials we are procuring from outside.
13:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
However,
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
gradually our Indian ecosystem is coming up,
13:24
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
government also is pushing a lot of...
13:26
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Welfare schemes so that any advanced materials like carbon carbon composites
13:31
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and titanium alloy,
13:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
non -ferrous alloy,
13:33
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we can able to build it.
13:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Many startups,
13:36
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
many government agencies,
13:38
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they are already on this.
13:39
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And I think in the coming few years or so,
13:42
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or maybe in next decade,
13:43
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we should be self -reliant and independent.
13:46
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Independently we can build these materials.
13:50
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We are plenty of used in launch vehicles.
13:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Global benchmarks,
13:54
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
this is something which we are intending and trying to
13:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
match.
13:58
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
That is a company like SpaceX who have taught us about vertical
14:02
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
takeoff, vertical landing,
14:04
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
which was never heard of because as I mentioned,
14:06
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
rockets are used for single time use.
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
The kind of propulsion system it carries,
14:10
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the kind of avion axis carries,
14:12
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the kind of redundancy carries,
14:14
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we never thought of using it again and again.
14:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But SpaceX has shown us,
14:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Blue Origin has shown us and there are some...
14:21
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
projects are going happening elsewhere like in ESA there is a project called POMITAS they
14:25
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
are also trying to mimic the same thing what SpaceX has done I think in India also
14:29
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
some of the startups they are trying their hand I think in near future more or less
14:33
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we'll also hear good news so another
14:38
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
one particular is EMA space bike program that of course falls under the space
14:43
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of the segment only but here the requirements and the I
14:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
can say the
14:49
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Applications are slightly different than satellites because here we want humans
14:53
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
to be in space to work on some specialized areas,
14:56
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
some experiments,
14:57
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
but it's having dual huge difference.
15:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or the strategic youth and civilian youth of course country like india
15:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we may not have thought much about it
15:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
civilian use yet but from strategic or defense point of view
15:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
i can say many things are happening many classified things are happening with not
15:14
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
there in the public domain and to develop a human space meeting
15:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the man rated or the human rated items
15:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or the systems components is a really challenging aspect
15:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
when i say human rated let me clarify here
15:33
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
That is the philosophy called fail -off and fail -safe.
15:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
It means once one subsystem
15:40
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
fails in space,
15:41
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
still it has to continue the operation.
15:43
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And again if the subsystem fails,
15:46
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
then safely it should land or it should allow safely the
15:50
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
exit of the humans or the operators.
15:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that is called human rating.
15:55
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that is something where we have been working in India and
16:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the subsystems which human space flight program demands or needs,
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that is one very important item is environmental control life support system,
16:07
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that is CLSS.
16:08
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
It is exactly the same environment how we people use it
16:12
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
to feel when you fly in an aircraft.
16:13
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But aircraft takes two hours,
16:16
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
three hours or maybe 15,
16:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
16 hours if it is intercontinental flight.
16:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But when you go to space,
16:22
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
you have to work there for days,
16:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
number of days.
16:27
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
makes the challenge more complex and critical
16:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
because here once the aircraft takes then replenish
16:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
once it lands and you may get a chance to refill the items but once you
16:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
go to space until you come back you have to leave with the resources available
16:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
there.
16:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So ECLS cannot assure luxury to the astronaut but
16:49
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it has to give them minimum basic necessity like some good air to
16:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
inhale then food then water then some resting
16:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
systems, then your toilets,
17:01
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and I think what we need or not,
17:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
same thing, it has to be provided there.
17:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that subsystems now also it is not fully
17:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
developed or getting made in India.
17:11
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think that's a very golden area where India is currently working,
17:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and some of the adults,
17:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I understand,
17:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they are also trying their hand.
17:18
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then avionics,
17:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
because here are the kind of elotronics items we need to use,
17:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
those have to be radiation -hardened,
17:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and it has to work in a human in -loop.
17:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So it has to be very friendly and accident proof
17:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or I can say the fireproof items are required here.
17:37
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that I think gives one more opportunity here.
17:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And as I mentioned redundancy,
17:43
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it can be triple,
17:44
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
quadruple kind of redundancy required because humans are there and we don't want to take any
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
risk of that.
17:49
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Geopolitical leverage,
17:51
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of course,
17:51
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
space technology was and always and
17:56
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
always will be.
17:57
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the center of attraction and because of the complexities are
18:01
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
involved here so having a space station or sending emails to space
18:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
bringing them back needs a quite herculean efforts
18:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think it needs a lot of physics and engineering and many more
18:14
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
commercial aspects integrated into it India is not lacking that because
18:19
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
India is part of Artemis Accord that is we
18:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
have signed
18:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
understanding with the USA.
18:26
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And under that,
18:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
last year we have sent our astronaut
18:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
crew captain Subhan Sukhla to this international space station and who
18:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
brought a lot of name and fame for our country and he successfully came
18:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
back. Fortunately,
18:42
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I can say that when I was part of the human space flight program
18:46
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in Israel in 2018.
18:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We people only laid down the process of selecting astronauts and in
18:53
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that time only some seven people selected from Indian Air Force and he was one
18:57
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
among them.
18:57
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Coming to the space segment satellite,
19:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
satellite plays a very vital and meaningful role because every...
19:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
This system now is private or government or inter -government agencies
19:08
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or semi -government agencies.
19:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
They are depending on this kind of satellite information.
19:13
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Satellite can be of any type in a low Earth orbit or we call it remote
19:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
sensing satellites or Earth observation satellite,
19:19
S… Speaker 2 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
medium Earth orbit,
19:21
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
maybe GPS or PNT satellites which gives the positioning system information.
19:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Then geosynchronous satellites which gives the communication support
19:30
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that we use in the different kind of transceivers.
19:37
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So these satellites are used for dual purpose.
19:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
One is for civilian,
19:41
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
another is for military purpose.
19:42
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And there are some cases where there is interlinked.
19:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And the satellite also
19:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
having very different lifespan.
19:52
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Some satellite has to work from a few days or a
19:57
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
few years. And based on the orbit,
19:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the satellite lifespan...
20:00
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
are detected some satellite in Earth orbit,
20:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
majorly six to seven years next time it can work,
20:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or minimum two to three years.
20:07
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Satellites in the geosynchronous orbit,
20:09
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
they usually work from 15 to 25 years,
20:11
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or maybe here and there a little bit,
20:13
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
plus or minus.
20:14
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Satellites in medium Earth orbit,
20:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the GPS kind of satellites,
20:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
their lifespan also is intermediate.
20:21
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And satellites,
20:22
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
low Earth orbit,
20:24
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
optical satellites are there.
20:26
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Synthetic aperture or satellites are there.
20:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
They are mostly into Earth observation.
20:30
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And in communication satellites,
20:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we have different kind of bandwidth that are there.
20:34
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
That is K -band,
20:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Q -band,
20:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
S -band,
20:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
X -band.
20:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So these are all communication systems.
20:39
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And the more and more the satellite is heavier and powerful,
20:43
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it takes more and more payloads.
20:46
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Space segment is having a lot of fortunes and growing
20:51
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
opportunities.
20:51
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think that something shows a very
20:55
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
quite good kind of interest in the investment fraternity and
20:59
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the one which I am adding that is APEX we are working in a
21:03
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
very advanced and one of its kind satellite that is a thermal
21:07
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
satellite with satellite based automatic identification system
21:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
for maritime supplements so in India so far there is no dedicated
21:16
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
constellation of satellite to work in this domain so that's the reason
21:20
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we are trying to bring this technology to India and make some disruptions
21:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Another one area is your space situational awareness.
21:29
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
These are some emerging areas.
21:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I tried best to capture a few of them and put
21:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
it here. I think many more other areas are there in space manufacturing,
21:38
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
then in space service
21:43
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
of satellites.
21:45
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
But those are some time -taking projects.
21:47
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
I think slowly,
21:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
gradually things are happening elsewhere in India.
21:50
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So we'll catch it soon.
21:54
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
leo constellation so as i mentioned the low earth orbit satellite gives
21:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
a low latency rate it means the communication satellite in earth orbit
22:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
can give you varying
22:04
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
end -to -end,
22:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
without any interaction,
22:06
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
communication with respect to GSO kind of satellites.
22:10
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
However,
22:11
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
we need number of satellites,
22:12
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and the Starlink project from SpaceX is the very,
22:15
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
very profitable and live example which we can refer.
22:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
And I think similar constellations are getting attempted
22:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in USA,
22:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in Europe, and in India as well also.
22:25
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
We have one way,
22:26
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
which is a Bharati Mittal -led company who are also having
22:31
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
this kind of communication,
22:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
satellite constellation on space.
22:36
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
then onboard autonomy because now customer needs information at mouse click away
22:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
and they need near real -time information so what
22:44
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
a satellite captures the information especially earth observation satellite which gives information
22:48
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in terms of images by using onboard artificial intelligence computing facility
22:54
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the satellite can analyze the information itself and give the
22:58
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
information to the end user within few hours
23:02
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
or I can say very near real -time information.
23:05
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So that is something call of the time and many agencies based
23:09
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
in private or government they are trying to catch this technology and integrate it into
23:13
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
the satellite.
23:17
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
Space situational awareness,
23:18
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
a lot of debris are there because of the past missions especially in low
23:23
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
earth orbit areas which may create or creating
23:27
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
problems for the upcoming mission.
23:28
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
So in order to track and doing mathematical models to
23:32
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
know their future projections,
23:35
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
that is one area space situational awareness is
23:40
S… Speaker 1 (WhatsApp Audio 2026-06-15 at 19.53.21)
