NanoAvionics has signed a partnership agreement with Ananth Technologies Ltd. (ATL) — this agreement marks NanoAvionics’ entry into India’s growing NewSpace industry.
The agreement makes Ananth Technologies the official distributor of NanoAvionics’ products and services in India, giving companies one stop access to cost effective small, micro and nano satellites, including subsystems. The local access will save them time and cost for assembly, integration and test of at Ananth’s facilities in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Customers will also have access to low cost launch service, using ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), and post launch operation services. In addition, this partnership between NanoAvionics and Ananth Technologies is going to foster relationships with Indian research institutions and suppliers.
NanoAvionics and Ananth Technology will work together to meet India’s demand for smallsats with the flight-proven NanoAvionics smallsat buses and subsystems. NanoAvionics’ standardized nanosatellite buses satisfy the requirements for a wide range of smallsat applications, thanks to their regular connectivity, powerful and reliable hardware, up to 14U of payload volume and integrated propulsion system. NanoAvionics’s designs provide functions for smallsats that once required much larger spacecraft.
