ISRO seeks options of privatisation of PSLV

[ashok321]

New Delhi, July 20 : The ISRO has been pursuing a 'conscious' approach of building up and nurturing the industrial capabilities in the country to maximally support the Indian Space Programme.

Through appropriate transfer of technology and hand-holding, ISRO is making focused efforts to consolidate and enhance participation of Indian industries for manufacturing and production of space related hardware such as rocket engine stages, propellant tanks, spacecraft structures, solar panels, thermal control systems, electronic packages etc., required for satellites and launch vehicles.

In order to step up the launch capacity within the country, ISRO is in the process of exploring the possibility of involving Indian industry in a greater role to meet the increased national requirements and possible commercial demand for launch services.

Discussions are being held with the Indian industry towards formulating a plan and strategy to enhance the capacity as well as capability of managing the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) programme on an end to end basis.

A provision exists for private players to operate communication satellites on their own in the country through an established mechanism called Committee for Authorising the establishment and operations of Indian Satellite Systems (CAISS).

This information was provided by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in written reply to a question in Lok Sabhaon Wednesday.

Actually, ISRO should start making joint ventures, JVs can benefit a lot.
We can start exporting satellites or satellite equipments.

It is good that ISRO is at last making efforts to privatise PSLV operations. One reason why this plan was facing resistance was, funnily, the tremendous success of PSLV. Some senior ISRO people had apprehensions that if this successful venture went into private hands then people would eventually forget that ISRO was responsible for PSLV, and so ISRO could lose goodwill.

It is better that ISRO manpower is freed from PSLV missions and used for the next generation launch vehicles and newer ventures.

It'll help increase the number of launch's and more money! You never know they even might be able to tweak the design to get even more performance out of these rockets!
