ATL Celebrates Milestone with EOS-8 as Its 100th Satellite Contribution

16th August 2024 : The SSLV represents a new class of launch vehicles tailored to meet the increasing demand for deploying small satellites into orbit. It offers a more cost-effective solution and can be quickly assembled and launched, unlike larger vehicles like the PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle). Ananth Technologies congratulates ISRO on the successful SSLV launch, placing the EOS-8 satellite into orbit.

Ananth Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad (ATL) a leading innovator in the field of aerospace, is proud to announce its long term partnership with ISRO in for all their space programs including EOS-8 and SSLV-D3. This mission is a part of ISRO’s efforts to enhance its capabilities in small satellite launches and expand its portfolio in commercial satellite launch services. ATL is proud to announce that EOS-8 marks the milestone of being the 100th satellite to which ATL has contributed. ATL has contributed to 100 satellites and 80 launch vehicles so far for Indian space programs.

Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri CMD of ATL, Conveyed his excitement regarding SSLV-D3 and EOS-8, saying, “Ananth Technologies extends its heartfelt congratulations to ISRO for the successful launch of SSLV and the EOS-8 satellite. This achievement further strengthens India’s leadership in space exploration and satellite technology. We are proud to support ISRO’s mission and look forward to continuing our collaboration in future endeavours.”

EOS-8 is an Earth Observation Satellite designed to provide data for various applications such as agriculture, forestry, water resources, and disaster management. It is part of a series of Earth Observation Satellites developed by ISRO to provide high-resolution imagery and other data.

Ananth Technologies, with its extensive experience in satellite systems design, development, and integration, played a pivotal role for the EOS-8 satellite. ATL has supplied Power converter modules of Inertial Reference Unit, which gives the navigation data of the satellite.

On the other hand, ATL supplied the Navigation, Guidance, and Control System (NGC), pyro system, power switching module for NGC, and Telemetry, Tracking, and Control Packages (TTCP) for the SSLV-D3 launch vehicle.

In addition to the subsystem manufacturing, ATL undertook the sub-assembly integration of Base Shroud, C1 & C2 sub-assemblies, SS3 EB interface & motor wiring for SSLV-D3

The company is a committed partner with ISRO, specializing in innovation, precision engineering, and manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on reliability for space applications.

ATL is headquartered in Hyderabad, with dedicated facilities in Thiruvananthapuram for the fabrication, assembly, testing, and supply of advanced electronic packages, computer systems, and various sub-systems for launch vehicles, as well as integration of launch vehicles. In Bengaluru, ATL has established extensive facilities for satellite manufacturing.

Garuda Aerospace Bags its First Order from ISRO, Marks Drone Start-up’s Entry in the Space-Tech Sector

11th April, 2024; National: India’s leading drone manufacturer, Garuda Aerospace today announces its collaboration with the Department of Space’s Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). As per the partnership ISRO is in the process of procuring Garuda Aerospace’s cutting-edge Quadcopter drones. This collaboration between Garuda Aerospace and ISRO marks the company’s entry into the space-tech category, setting the stage for future innovations in the space sector.

Known for its cutting-edge drone technology, Garuda Aerospace’s Quadcopter drones are integrated with machine learning and artificial intelligence. The use of these drones in ISRO’s operations is expected to significantly enhance efficiency across various ISRO operations.

ISRO had begun sampling Garuda Aerospace’s drones in 2021 for the delivery of medicines and food supplies. Following this, Garuda Aerospace also engaged in the sanitization of building premises with the spraying of disinfectants during COVID-19. These successful trials are pivotal to Garuda Aerospace bagging this order from ISRO for Quadcopter drones.

Speaking on this milestone, Agnishwar Jayaprakash, CEO, and Founder of Garuda Aerospace said, “Receiving an order from the esteemed Indian Space Research Organisation marks a monumental achievement for us. It showcases our dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. We firmly believe that Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles will play a pivotal role in the space sector. Our partnership with ISRO not only validates our credibility but also solidifies our position as industry leaders.”

He further added, “Governmental support, such as the approval of 100% Foreign Direct Investment into the space sector, presents an exciting opportunity for Garuda Aerospace. This landmark decision will not only provide crucial financial support but also pave the way for us to achieve a historic milestone of becoming the first-ever Indian drone Unicorn start-up.”

Garuda Aerospace drones can be customised to withstand atmospheric pressure and gravity. They can hence be used for surveying, mapping, and also sample collection.

Garuda Aerospace has made significant strides in the drone sector with its remarkable advancements. It recently launched its border patrolling drone, Trishul. Garuda Aerospace is the first drone company in India to receive dual DGCA approvals. These approvals encompass the manufacturing of small and medium-category drones, along with pilot training. The Dhoni-backed company is all set to go public by the end of 2024 thereby demonstrating the ongoing growth and leadership in the industry.

ISRO and Pataa to bring an addressing revolution in India

ISRO and Pataa to bring an addressing revolution in India

This is a historical moment for the country as it is a massive step forward towards Atma Nirbhar Bharat, the dream of PM Narendra Modi and every Indian, more so as both In-Space and Pataa are indigenous brands. With the coming together of both these brands, India can look forward to a better addressing system, the lack of which costs the country a whopping loss of 75,000 crores annually.

The Department of Space has been monumental in the use of geospatial technologies in the country through its activities in aerial and satellite data acquisition, data supply, mapping, applications and nation­wide operational projects like Bhuvan, VEDAS, MOSDAC etc. DoS has also played a major role in the setting up of a large number of State-level remote sensing application Centres and their data repositories, with spatial analytics portals that help respective State Governments in addressing specific issues at the State level.

Pataa has developed an App for enabling users to create unique customized shortcodes for their long and complex addresses with added features like voice directions, precise geotagged location, route suggestions, landmark selection, photos and more. Pataa will head in bringing an addressing revolution in India by enabling people to have satellite image-based digital addresses. The collaboration would be for the services of ISRO portals, namely Bhuvan, VEDAS, and MOSDAC through this MoU.

Both parties are interested in evolving indigenous addressing solutions by exchanging a combination of the satellite imagery/maps and address system through ISRO portals. This alliance will be beneficial for the geo boundary which in turn will benefit rural India by making loans, seeds, tech facilities etc. available to the rural population. Apart from that last mile reach for E-Commerce, loan facilities, and quick reach of the ambulance will be availed by all.

Talking about working with ISRO & InSpace, Mr Rajat Jain, Co-Founder shares, “This is an exciting opportunity. We are looking forward to working with the highly-proficient scientists of India to bring an address revolution.”

Speaking at the In-Space HQ inauguration The Prime Minister said “When the strength of government institutions and the passion of India’s private sector will meet, not even the sky will be the limit”
