ITI honoured by ISRO for role in NISAR satellite launch

19 Aug 2025 CW Team

The landmark mission was carried out by ISRO’s GSLV-F16 rocket, which placed the 2,393 kg NISAR satellite into its intended orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This mission represents the first joint Earth-observing initiative between NASA and ISRO.

ITI Limited’s Palakkad unit played a key role, delivering 28 avionics packages and 18 Head-end Mounted Safe Arm (HMSA) packages that successfully flew on the satellite. The company has consistently supported ISRO in multiple missions, including Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, Aditya L1, and the LVM3 M2/OneWeb India-1 Mission.

NISAR, developed at an estimated cost of US$1.5 billion, is set to become the world’s most expensive Earth-imaging satellite. Equipped with advanced dual-band radar, it will study detailed changes on the Earth’s surface and deliver high-speed data critical for climate and environmental research.
