Voyager Space signed an MoU with NewSpace India Limited, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), to collaborate on spacecraft launch. 

The MoU specifically deals with NSIL’s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) and Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), to explore launch and deployment opportunities for small satellites. Voyager Space has previously flown customer satellites on two PSLV missions.

NSIL Chairman and Managing Director Radhakrishnan commented: “India’s space industry is open for business, and we are proud to serve the rapidly growing global small satellite launch service market. By working together, we will create a synergy that accelerates the development of a commercial space economy in India and abroad.”

India recently signed the Artemis Accords, a multinational agreement with a common vision for space exploration. The Artemis Accords are a commitment to peaceful, sustainable, and transparent cooperation in space exploration. The accords are non-binding, but reinforce the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and include principles on registering space objects, conducting space activities with transparency, and committing to safe orbital debris disposal.
