Space collaborations between Singapore and ISRO

Last updated

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has frequently collaborated with various organisations and universities in Singapore, with activities related to space. With 20 Singaporean satellites launched by ISRO, [1] Singapore is the third largest customer of ISRO'S foreign satellite launching missions. During the India-Singapore technology summit of 2022, both countries signed a memorandum of understanding on Cooperation in the fields of Science, Technology, and Innovation.

History

The ISRO launched Singapore's first indigenously built micro-satellite in 2011. Two more satellites were launched in 2014 and 6 in 2015. During PM's visit to Singapore in June 2018, Six MoUs were signed by NTU for research & exchange partnership with NITI Aayog. [2]

On 23 February 2022, India and Singapore signed a MoU related to cooperation in the fields of Technology, Science, and Innovation at the India-Singapore Technology Summit 2022's inaugural session. This virtual summit was co-organised by Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and India's Department of Science and Technology (DST) and CII. [3]

PSLV C-29 and PSLV-C56 were exclusively commercial launches of Singaporean satellites. [4]

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into Sun-synchronous orbits, a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV in 1993, only commercially available from Russia. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).
