The SonaSPEED lab's Simplex Permanent Magnet Stepper Motors successfully powered ISRO–NASA’s NISAR mission launched via GSLV-F16. Developed in Salem and Bengaluru, these motors played a crucial role in fuel regulation and engine control during India’s latest Earth observation satellite mission.
NASA and ISRO are collaborating on developing a satellite called NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), which will detect movements of the planet’s surface as small as 0.4 inches over areas about half the size of a tennis court.
