Bengaluru, 5 Sep: India and Australia elevated their space relationship as six new industry-to-industry memorandums for collaboration between the two countries were signed at the seventh \u2018Bengaluru Space Expo 2022\u2019 on Monday.
\nAustralia to look at new ways to enhance space collaboration with India
\nAustralia continues to look at new ways to enhance its space collaboration with India, said the Head of the Australian Space Agency (ASA), Enrico Palermo, in his address to the international conference and exhibition.
\nThe establishment of a Consulate-General in Bengaluru from 2023 will allow us to further develop the space relationship, he said.
\nWe also recognise the significance of India\u2019s national space programme and are glad to be supporting the inspirational \u2018Gaganyaan\u2019 human space flight mission, Palermo added.
\nSix separate Australia-India space industry memorandums were exchanged
\nHighlighting the strong commercial links in space between Australia and India, six separate Australia-India space industry memorandums were exchanged at the inauguration of the space summit.
\nAustralia\u2019s Space Machines Company will collaborate with Bengaluru-based aerospace and defence manufacturer Ananth Technologies on product integration, testing, technology development and joint-space missions.
\nAustralian startup HEX20 will work with Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace to provide launch services, spacecraft avionics and components to Australian Space Initiatives.
\nPerth-headquartered QL Space will also partner with Skyroot Aerospace to further develop launch facilities in Australia and support joint mineral exploration missions in space. Perth is known as Australia\u2019s resources, mining and mining technology capital.
\nQL Space will partner with Chennai-based GalaxEye to develop a hybrid optic and Radar payload to reduce the adverse environmental impact of critical mineral exploration in Australia and beyond.
\nQL Space and Bengaluru-based SatSure will work together to build satellite and AI-based solutions to support the agriculture, mining and defence industries, and apply this technology to the outer space environment.
\nAustralia\u2019s SABRN Health, Altdata and India\u2019s DCube will work together on the development and integration of hardware, sensor technology and software to provide health support to astronauts, it was stated.
\n\u201cThey (Australia) were able to attract (Indian) startups to work together. This shows that Australia is also open to launching our satellites from their land sometime, and vice versa\u201d, Secretary in the Department of Space and Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation, S Somanath said.
