The launch was combined duly with the participation of many external partners. ITI Limited, Palakkad is one major industry partner which VSSC has been depending on consistently for the realization of Avionics packages. 28 Avionics Packages and 18 HMSA packages (Head-end Mounted Safe Arm) fabricated by ITI Limited, Palakkad have successfully flown in NISAR satellite in GSLV F16.
This mission is a significant milestone as it is the first joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and ISRO. The successful launch of NISAR satellite in GSLV F16 holds significance as this sophisticated earth observation satellite has been jointly developed by NASA & ISRO to study changes on the earth’s surface in fine detail using dual-bad radar and to receive high speed data. With a total cost estimated at US$1.5 billion, NISAR is likely to be the world's most expensive Earth-imaging satellite.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Rajesh Rai, Chairman and Managing Director, ITI Limited said — “It is a very proud moment for ITI Limited, to receive this Appreciation from ISRO. We have state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and the fact that ISRO has consistently reposed its trust on ITI is a shining testimony to the top-quality work ITI Palakkad Unit has been delivering.
