Our MD, Rajesh Kothapalli and team recently had the pleasure of having an engaging discussion with the ISRO Chairman, S Somanath. The discussions delved into ISRO's upcoming launches, the next-gen LOX Methane engine which would be 100 times more powerful than a PS4 Engine, and how companies like ASACO Private Limited - India can continue to foster their 4 decade old partnership with ISRO to play a more significant role in scripting space history.🛰️ #ASACO#ISRO#SpaceInnovation#PartnershipGoals 🚀

Established in 1982, the Indian National Satellite System (#INSAT) program, initially partnered with Ford Aerospace for the INSAT 1 series.
ISRO faced significant hurdles in the program's early years, including:
1. Satellites prematurely ending their orbital lifespan.
2. Satellites incurring damage during ground operations.
3. Reliance on other agencies for replacing malfunctioning #satellites in orbit.
4. Additionally, launching 70-80% of INSAT missions depended on external agencies.
The development of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (#GSLV) marked a turning point, enabling ISRO to:
1. Launch indigenously developed satellites.
2. Utilize Indian #launch_vehicles, reducing dependence on external agencies.
This shift towards self-reliance has likely resulted in:
1. Increased #cost_effectiveness.
2. Enhanced #technological_expertise within ISRO.
3. Greater control over mission #timelines and #objectives.
Dive into the challenge, the puzzle of innovation and explore the intricate world of technology!
