Antrix-Devas: Ex-ISRO chief Madhavan Nair summoned as accused:

A special court today summoned former ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair and others as accused in the Antrix-Devas deal case.

Special Judge Virender Kumar Goyal directed Nair, A Bhaskar Narayana Rao, the then Director in ISRO, K R Sridhar Murthy, the then Executive Director of Antrix, former Additional Secretary in the Department of Space Veena S Rao and others to appear before the court on December 23.

The court passed the directions after taking cognisance of the CBI chargesheet filed in the matter.

The CBI had earlier informed the court that sanction to prosecute the former public servants had been obtained from the authorities concerned.

The agency had filed an FIR on March 16, 2015 against Nair and others accusing them of facilitating "wrongful" gain of Rs 578 crore to private multi-media company Devas by Antrix, the commercial arm of ISRO.

The probe agency had on August 11 last year filed a chargesheet against the accused, alleging they had caused a loss of Rs 578 crore to the exchequer by abusing their official position to favour a private company.

Notice the word 'smallsats' . Well, we are not prone to subsidizing foreign launches since we are not as rich as India.

Nobody wants to share it with you because of fear of stealing the techs. So the west sanctioned any launches from China.

Because crumbs are reserved for low income country as India, while the 4 times richer Chinese (than Indians) are busy with big ticket items of their own a la Quantum satellites and other such space related things involving pure Astrophysics:

China's quantum satellite achieves 'spooky action' at record distance

Launching micro/nano sats are considered high tech now? Gosh, India must be world leading in space launching technologies. .
