Built in India, the First Sub-meter Resolution
Optical Satellite Reaches Orbit
Tata Advanced Systems Limited (“TASL”), India’s leading private
sector player for aerospace and defense solutions, and Satellogic
Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL) (“Satellogic”), a leader in sub-meter
resolution Earth Observation (“EO”) data collection, today
announced the successful deployment into space of TASL’s TSAT-1A
satellite aboard the Bandwagon-1 mission, which SpaceX’s Falcon 9
rocket launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center,
Florida, USA, at 23:16 UTC on April 7, 2024.
TSAT-1A has been assembled in TASL’s Assembly, Integration and
Testing (“AIT”) plant at its Vemagal facility in Karnataka. This
achievement follows the collaboration signed between TASL and
Satellogic in November 2023, leveraging Satellogic’s expertise to
develop and integrate an advanced EO satellite in India and TASL’s
capability to undertake complex system integration.
Sukaran Singh, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director,
TASL, said, “This milestone shows TASL’s commitment to the space
sector. This is a first step. Our partnership with Satellogic has
enabled us to deliver an assembled and tested in India,
best-in-class, fully integrated sub-meter optical satellite which
was launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket for the Bandwagon-1
mission. We are grateful for the support we have received from
various Indian Government authorities for required
permissions.”
TSAT-1A will deliver high-resolution optical satellite images
with increased collection capacity, dynamic range, and low-latency
delivery through its multispectral and hyperspectral
capabilities.
“Congratulations to both teams on the efficient collaboration
that brought TSAT-1A to life and ready for launch,” commented
Emiliano Kargieman, CEO at Satellogic. “This illustrates the
flexibility of Satellogic’s Space Systems program, offering
governments and enterprises the ability to tailor a proven
satellite model for their specific needs, and reach orbit within a
favorable timeframe.”
Satellogic provided industry knowledge transfer, foundational
components, IP licensing terms, and support in constructing an AIT
facility in India – features of its Space Systems offering for
direct satellite sales.
