Antrix, the commercial arm of ISRO, has been providing Launch Services for customer satellites since 1999 aboard ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). Over the years, the company has established itself as a leading launch service provider with a track record of successfully placing in orbit, 297 satellites for customers from 33 countries, until March 2019. In September 2016, PSLV C-37 successfully injected 104 satellites in to orbit – the highest number of satellites launched in a single mission so far.
With the operationalisation of the GSLV and the GSLV Mk-III by ISRO, Antrix has now substantially expanded the launch opportunities and versatility it can offer the customers. The launches are accomplished from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) located at Sriharikotta in the South eastern part of India. Antrix has the capability to perform missions to LEO (Low and Mid-inclination), SSO, Sub – GTO, GTO orbits.
ISRO has also been developing the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV), explicitly to cater to the burgeoning small satellite launch market. SSLV is getting built on a completely commercial model with a streamlined engagement mechanism with the customers in the backend primarily to provide a shortened contract to launch timeline and to be as responsive and adaptive as possible to the customer.
Antrix offers Comprehensive Launch Solutions – for both Ride Sharing and Dedicated Missions – supplemented with a wide variety of flight-proven Payload Separation systems and Adaptors developed in-house, for all category of satellites.
