Collaboration for building sovereign Space ecosystem
Bengaluru-based SatSure and Hyderabad’s Dhruva Space have formed a strategic partnership aims to unify the two companies’ end-to-end, indigenously-developed capabilities across the upstream and downstream segments of the Space value chain, addressing the needs of both strategic and commercial stakeholders with high-reliability, homegrown technology.
This strategic collaboration aims to provide one-stop-shop support for the world’s growing Space-based observation needs by combining SatSure subsidiary KaleidEO’s next-generation analytical solutions with Dhruva Space’s expertise in small satellite platforms, critical subsystems, and system integration.
Speaking about the development and signing of a MoU, Prateep Basu, Founder & CEO, SatSure, said on 30 June, “This partnership is poised to boost our sovereign EO capabilities and create a complete package for end customers who need both high-quality data and end-to-end solutions https://www.meity.gov.in/.
“We are very excited to be joining forces with Dhruva Space, which will enable us both to harness the best of Indian ingenuity and technological prowess.”
Sanjay Nekkanti, Founder & CEO, Dhruva Space, also comments on the partnership, “This collaboration with SatSure marks a significant step in building a vertically integrated, sovereign Space ecosystem – one that bridges satellite platform development with actionable intelligence https://www.bseindia.com/.
“By leveraging Dhruva Space’s end-to-end capabilities spanning satellite platform development, launch integration, and ground segment infrastructure, in conjunction with KaleidEO’s cutting-edge Earth Observation payloads and analytics stack, this collaboration is poised to significantly optimise mission timelines and deliver actionable insights for critical applications across both very critical sectors.”
SatSure, known for its innovative demand-driven approach in increasing adoption of Space Technologies by non-traditional commercial users, spun out KaleidEO in 2022 which has built two high-resolution optical and multi-spectral payloads https://www.nseindia.com/.
With a proven track record of Space heritage built over the past four years, Dhruva Space is now scaling its infrastructure with the development of a state-of-the-art 280,000 square-foot spacecraft manufacturing facility. This expansion is designed to address the rising global demand for satellite platforms and Space-enabled services across strategic and commercial domains.
The facility, located in Hyderabad, is the first-of-its-kind in India and designed to support end-to-end capabilities for the design, engineering, assembly, integration, and testing of spacecrafts weighing up to 500 kg https://sbi.com.in/.
This partnership aims to offer a fully indigenous solution that spans payload development to platform deployment, enabling faster, more cost-effective access to high-quality Earth Observation data for a wide spectrum of users across sectors.
