Skyroot inks two MOUs with French Space Firms

These MoUs are intended to lead to the procurement of launch services of Skyroot by the satellite companies over single or multi-launch agreements covering several Vikram space launches.

Hyderabad: In a significant step towards its upcoming Vikram 1 orbital launch and other forthcoming Vikram missions, Skyroot signed two MoUs – one with Prométhée Earth Intelligence, the French earth observation constellation operator, and a trilateral agreement with Expleo and ConnectSAT at the Skyroot facility on Wednesday.

While Prométhée will be providing satellite launch services aboard its Vikram rockets for their Japetus earth observation constellation, Expleo will provide Reconfigurable Software for ConnectSAT’s IoT Satellite, set to launch on Vikram-I rocket, building the futuristic OSIRIS satellite constellation.
