Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace and Dhruva Space revealed their tentative satellite launches with French space companies on the sidelines of PM Narendra Modi's visit to France last week.
Dhruva Space and Kineis, a French satellite IoT operator, signed an MoU to launch a satellite jointly for global connectivity in IoT applications.
Skyroot Aerospace is exploring a launch with French firm Promethee to augment its JAPETUS earth observation satellite constellation.
The collaboration reflects the historic ties between India and France in space activities, with the presence of Indian space start-ups in an Indian CEO delegation that met PM Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
