Hex20, a registered startup under the Kerala Start-up Mission, has come forward to contribute to the global institutions participating in the Chandrayaan mission, specifically for Chandrayaan-3. This collaboration involves Skyroot Aerospace and ISRO, which is now a part of the international space race. With a focus on cost-effective satellite production for the Chandrayaan mission, Hex20 aims to make its mark in the realm of space exploration.
Hex20’s Role in Space Endeavours
Skyroot Aerospace, headquartered in Hyderabad, is a private satellite manufacturing company. Similarly, the Japanese-based ISpace, known for its participation in lunar exploration research in Azerbaijan, has also joined hands with Hex20 to further their lunar missions. The collective goal of these three companies is to pave the way for new horizons in Chandrayaan missions by minimising costs through the production of lightweight satellites.
Kerala Start-up Mission’s Contribution
Hex20’s involvement in the Chandrayaan-3 project began in May, when they initiated state-of-the-art research and development in the field of aerospace at the Thiruvananthapuram Technopark. The research centre focuses on the advancement of space technology, collaboration, and the creation of regional space clusters to drive innovation.
A Collaborative Vision for Chandrayaan-3
Hex20’s partnership with ISRO, ISpace, and Skyroot Aerospace is expected to play a vital role in expanding the horizons of space technology. Anoop Ambik, CEO of Kerala Start-up Mission, underscores the significance of Hex20’s involvement in international space collaborations. Their contribution promises to enhance global technological prowess, foster cooperation in the aerospace sector, and provide outstanding services to end-users.
A New Wave of Technology and Global Distribution
The involvement of leading technical groups, cutting-edge technology, and reliable distribution networks has brought Hex20 to the forefront of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Through this collaboration, they hope to reduce space research costs significantly while ensuring that their technical expertise contributes to a brighter future for space technology.
International Recognition
Hex20’s involvement in international space projects extends beyond Chandrayaan-3. In addition to their cooperation with ISRO and Skyroot Aerospace, they are also actively engaged with Australia’s space industry. They provide cost-effective sensor technology to countries like Cuba and Somalia. Their expertise and support will facilitate the expansion of the global space industry.
As Hex20, Skyroot Aerospace, ISRO, and ISpace work together to reach new frontiers in space exploration, their collective efforts are set to make significant strides in the advancement of space technology. The Chandrayaan-3 mission, with its cost-effective approach and global cooperation, is a testament to India’s growing presence in the space industry.
