The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is working on a smaller rocket that could potentially be a designated vehicle to carry small and micro satellites and to cement the country as a global hub for small satellite launches.
“Globally, demand for small rockets are growing and we want to capture this market by offering cost-effective solutions,” said K Sivan, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Isro. He said the development of the newer rocket would cost only one-tenth of PSLV but declined to specify. Sivan made these comments here on Tuesday on the sidelines of a Isro-Ficci conference.
