India has announced ambitious plans for commercial space development, focusing on space data processing and launching small satellites. The country aims to become a leading player in space technology, offering cost-effective services to various sectors where high-quality data is a valuable resource.
According to officials, there is a plan in India to create a bridgehead in the fight for commercial space. It is not about challenging such heavyweights as SpaceX, but about processing space data, creating small satellites and launching them into orbit - all this within the limits of not too high costs.
India is also looking to provide cost-effective services and hardware to sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture and manufacturing, where high-quality data is a valuable resource.
The world has gone from satellites the size of a Boeing airplane to satellites the size of a laptop. .. This is a sector where India can win, instead of challenging heavy startups dominated by Elon Musk. The country already has a historical advantage in data analysis and interpretation
