ISRO pursues industry collaboration for satellite unit testing

ISRO is inviting companies to help develop and test its new Integrated Avionics Package (IAP)—a single, compact unit that handles everything from computing to communication on satellites.
The goal? Make future satellites lighter, more efficient, and potentially easier to launch.

TL;DR

How the IAP testing system will be designed

Selected partners will design a testing system that mimics real satellite conditions, making sure the IAP works across different satellite types.
ISRO will pick companies based on their experience and resources, aiming for solid quality checks before anything heads to space.

IAP to streamline electronics building and testing processes

The IAP is key to ISRO's plan for launching more satellites in the next five years.
By streamlining how electronics are built and tested, India hopes its growing fleet—including 22 Low Earth Orbit and 31 Geo-synchronous satellites—will be even more reliable for everything from communications to deep space missions.
