IN-SPACe Enables the Transfer of Five Technologies Created by ISRO
India's space sector promoter IN-SPACe announced that it has enabled the transfer of five technologies created by ISRO to Indian firms, potentially decreasing the nation's reliance on imports in those areas.
The tripartite agreements were executed among NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the beneficiary industries, and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) at its main office in Ahmedabad.
According to an IN-SPACe statement, the transfers focus on promoting commercialization, enhancing self-sufficiency, decreasing imports, and facilitating broader uses of space technologies in fields like automotive, biomedical, and industrial manufacturing.
One technology, the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module created by SAC, facilitates the combination of several semiconductor chips into one compact unit.
