Joint Development Aims to Bridge Launch Capacity Gap
India and Brazil have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the joint development of a satellite launch vehicle capable of carrying payloads of at least 100 kg into low Earth orbit. The agreement between Skyroot Aerospace and Concert Technologies aims to bridge the launch capacity gap between Brazil’s Micro Launcher Program and the larger Vikram rocket family. The partnership builds on more than two decades of space cooperation between the two countries and reflects India’s growing engagement with international partners in advanced technology. The agreement was first reported by Unknown Source.
