What Happened
From Space Diagnostics To Earth Observation
India’s space industry is evolving beyond building rockets and satellites, with a focus on using space infrastructure and data to solve problems on Earth. Startups like Redcliffe Labs and Skyroot Aerospace are developing space-enabled diagnostics and Earth-observation capabilities, while private companies are investing in satellite constellations and launch capabilities. This shift is driven by the government’s encouragement of private participation in Earth observation and the development of indigenous imaging technologies, as reported by Unknown Source.
