Daily Current Affairs / NCMRWF and NSIL Sign MoU to Establish Direct Broadcast Network (DBNet) Stations
Category : Science and Tech Published on: September 26 2025
The National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) has signed an MoU with New Space India Limited (NSIL) to set up two Direct Broadcast Network (DBNet) stations under the Mission Mausam project in Delhi/NCR and Chennai. These stations will receive real-time data from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, including Indian and international satellites such as Oceansat, NOAA, and MetOp. This will reduce data processing delays, providing complete data within 5 minutes of satellite overpass. The initiative will strengthen India’s weather forecasting capabilities, enhance disaster preparedness, support climate adaptation, and promote collaboration between the space and meteorological sectors.
