The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will soon transfer its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) to the private sector amid growing demand for small satellites
The space agency has decided to opt for the bidding route to transfer the mini-rocket to the industry.
ISRO will be transferring the SSLV completely to the private sector, not just the manufacturing, but full transfer
Small rockets, such as the SSLV, target nanosatellites that weigh less than 10 kg and micro-satellites, which weigh less than 100 kg, and offer on-demand launch services, without requiring clients to wait for larger rockets to carry them as co-passengers.
