Ananth Technologies Private Limited launched the largest private spacecraft manufacturing facility in India in Bengaluru. All four units are independent of each other and capable of conducting the end-to-end integration of processes in four different classes of spacecraft.
The facility is set up at Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board Aerospace Park. The 15,000 sqmt facility is capable of conducting the assembly, integration and testing of four large spacecrafts at the same time, with four separate units present within the facility.
The manufacturing unit would be able to conduct assembly, integration and testing of four large spacecraft simultaneously.
Inaugurating the new manufacturing facility, Dr. S. Somanath, Secretary Dept of Space and Chairman, ISRO, said, “India’s space programme over the last six decades has achieved multiple landmarks. Today, India can build, assemble and launch its own satellites. With ISRO at the forefront of space programmes, partnerships with private organisations will help India take its space programme to the next level.”
Ananth Technologies has contributed to the manufacturing of 89 satellites and 69 launch vehicles built/launched by ISRO, including two satellites for European customers that ISRO had built in collaboration with Airbus, France.
