New Delhi, Apr 20 (PTI) The new Indian Space Policy, which was made public on Thursday, has said the Indian Space Research Organisation shall transition out from manufacturing operational space systems and focus its energies on research and development in advanced technologies.
The Indian Space Policy-2023, which was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security on April 6, also permits non-government entities (NGEs) to offer national and international space-based communication services, through self-owned, procured or leased geostationary orbit (GSO) and non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) satellite systems.
NGSO is a reference to low earth orbit or medium earth orbits that are home to satellites providing broadband internet services from space.
