MTAR Technologies announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India’s National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) for the design and development of a two-stage to low-Earth orbit all liquid small satellite launch vehicle.
Both parties have signed a framework memorandum of understanding (MoU) for various requirements such as avionics, subsystem testing, launch facilitation, and any other requirements that may arise during the design, development, and launch phases. The agreement will be in effect for three years.
MTAR Technologies’ managing director, Parvat Srinivas Reddy, stated, “MTAR has consistently embraced innovation to indigenize new technologies for India.” With a payload capacity of 500 kg, the satellite launch vehicle will be powered by semi cryogenic technology.
Now, the company is progressing from precision engineering to complete system integration by launching a two-stage to low earth orbit all liquid small satellite launch vehicle project with a payload of 500 kg in low earth orbit. To capitalise on more than three decades of expertise in manufacturing liquid propulsion engines, the company has gone the all-liquid route.
