The building of a Consulate-General in Bengaluru from 2023 will help us to further develop the space partnership, he said. Additionally, we acknowledge the importance of India’s national space programme and are pleased to be supporting the motivational “Gaganyaan” human space launch mission, Palermo continued.
Six different Australia-India space industry memorandums were exchanged at the start of the space summit, highlighting the countries’ strong commercial ties in space.
Ananth Technologies, an aerospace and defence manufacturer based in Bengaluru, and Australia’s Space Machines Company will work together on cooperative space missions, product testing, technology development, and product integration. Australian firm HEX20 will collaborate with Skyroot Aerospace, based in Hyderabad, to offer Australian Space Initiatives launch services, spacecraft avionics, and components.
The Perth-based QL Space will collaborate with Skyroot Aerospace to expand Australia’s launch infrastructure and support shared mineral research missions in orbit. Perth is regarded as Australia’s centre for mining, resources, and mining technology.
In order to lessen the negative environmental effects of important mineral exploitation in Australia and elsewhere, QL Space will collaborate with Chennai-based GalaxEye to build a hybrid optic and radar payload.
Together, QL Space and Bengaluru-based SatSure will develop satellite- and AI-based solutions to aid the mining, agriculture, and defence sectors and integrate this technology into the space environment.
