Astrophel Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IN-SPACe to advance reusable rocket technology and propulsion testing, leveraging ISRO’s facilities for critical development activities. This partnership aims to enhance India’s space supply chain and support the indigenous production of advanced components, thereby bolstering the country’s technological independence. Astrophel’s innovative approach to propulsion has positioned it as a leader in cost-effective space solutions, with plans for a suborbital launch and a reusable hopper prototype within three years. This collaboration not only underscores the importance of government-industry partnerships but also enhances India’s global standing in the burgeoning space industry.
