ISRO to Resume Launches with GISAT-1A; India Plans Satellite Market Reforms
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to resume launches in September with the GISAT-1A Earth-observation satellite, ending a nearly seven-month pause following recent launch failures. GISAT-1A, replacing the failed GISAT-1, will monitor natural disasters and agriculture with a 10-year mission life. Separately, India is considering regulatory reforms to open its satellite communications market to global operators while protecting local players through coordination requirements and streamlined approvals.
