Bellatrix Aerospace, a spacecraft company headquartered in Bengaluru who has tested the first Thruster Hall in the country, a very efficient electrical propulsion system for satellites has been tied to the main L & T industry with the aim of working together “in building products for the world “.
The agreement was signed on Thursday in Dubai and the company said that “collaboration combines the capabilities of L & T which is proven in serving Indian space programs with their own strength in advanced propulsion and ally technology can help activate cost-effective and sustainable access.
Go to space .
“The source in knowledge says this will allow Bellatrix to improve – because L & T has several decades of manufacturing experience – and accelerates making its products available on the market.
Earlier this year, the company has signed the MoU with SatSure AG, Global Innovator WEF which provides intelligence of decisions by utilizing progress in satellites, machine learning and large data analysis.
Satsure operates from St Gallen (Switzerland), Bengaluru, Liverpool (UK) and Sydney (Australia).
The MOU is to help Bellatrrix to carry out the charge in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) – Satellites will host a new on-board processor for processing high-resolution data in-orbits using the in-depth learning algorithm owned by Satsure and Ultra Low Bandwidth data.
Transmission on the microsatelit platform consisting of the unique hybrid propulsion system of Bellatrix Aerospace.
SatSure and Bellatrix planned to have the first satellite of the proposed constellation launched at the end of December 2022.
The company also has a bond with aerospace skyroot and the Dhruva room on an orbitus transfer vehicle mission (OTV) ambitious.
Novel Thrusters & Space Taxias reported by the previous Toi, Bellatrix, in May this year, tested the first prively hall encouragement in the country, while previously developed the world’s first commercial microwave plasma thruster, which used water as fuel, and which company has pocketed orders from ISRO.
Thruster Hall, originally developed in Russia, is a device that employs an electric and magnetic field to ionize propellant gas like Xenon to produce a boost.
At present, this is the most reliable and time electrical propulsion system in the global market.
Bellatrix CEO and CTO Rohan M Ganapthy, have told the TOI that the company has worked on this technology in stealth mode for four years.
“Heating cathode technology is the main innovation that distinguishes us from competition by increasing life and redundancy and system life.
We are also the first in this country to operate it to operate efficiently at the current level,” Ganapathy said, added that this too Forming important technology for the taxi space they developed.
The chairman of Isro K Sivan, who predicted a privately funded propulsion of Bellatrix who had in-house facilities for the development and testing of electrical and green chemical propulsion technology, also witnessed the shooting of Thruster Hall.
