Via Satellite: How could you assess ISRO’s financial position?
Madhavan Nair: Although the launch service business is witnessing up and down trends due to over capacity as well as policy environment, there are expectations for growth in launch opportunities for timely and reliable launch providers offering services at competitive costs. ISRO/Antrix has seen consistent growth in revenue and profit over past years. It expects to grow further since its operations cover diverse areas including delivery of satellites, launch services, marketing of imageries from space and lease of transponders.
Via Satellite: With more competition than ever before, are there enough deals out there for everybody?
Madhavan Nair: The thrust for new programs in space explorations, increased number of Earth observation missions and mobile satellite services can all be major factors in sustaining increased launch capacities. The increasing competition in launch service market can lead to better efficiency and promise many new applications of satellites.
