India founds space agency INSPACe to promote investment from industry

12. November 2020

Recently, the government established the Indian National Space, Promotion & Authorization Centre (INSPACe) to promote and coordinate private and industrial investment in space. The new coordination center operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Space. Companies and institutions that are participants in an INSPACe project can use the existing infrastructure of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The proposal to establish a new space center was put to the government by scientific circles and the recent decision was welcomed accordingly.

ISRO’s former private subsidiary, New Space India Limited (NSIL), has been incorporated into the new center. Its tasks include the construction of launch vehicles and payload transport, the construction of satellites, space services and technology transfer. Currently, more than 500 private companies in the fields of materials research, electronic and mechanical components as well as system development and integration are working with ISRO. The responsible Minister of Space Affairs assured the companies involved in INSPACe that they would be able to use government research facilities specializing in aerospace, which are only available in India in a few cases, for an appropriate fee.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has an annual budget of 1.9 billion US dollars and employs around 17,000 people. It has successfully launched 319 satellites from 33 countries into space, launched 117 space missions and carried out 77 launch trials for testing purposes. ISRO operates two space centers for the launch of rockets, a third one is planned. Since 2005, MPR International GmbH has been supporting companies worldwide with certifications for the Asian market.
