ITI Limited, a manufacturer of telecom equipment, supplied avionics systems for the ISRO-NASA NISAR satellite, which was launched on 30 July 2025 by ISRO’s GSLV-F16 rocket. Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the rocket placed the 2,393 kg satellite into its intended orbit with the help of ITI’s avionics systems.
ITI Limited’s Palakkad unit fabricated 28 avionics packages and 18 Head-end Mounted Safe Arm (HMSA) packages that were integrated into the launch vehicle. The mission marked the first joint Earth-observing collaboration between NASA and ISRO.
The NISAR satellite, developed at an estimated cost of USD 1.5 billion, is designed to study surface changes on Earth in detail using dual-band radar and transmit high-speed data.
“ITI Limited has earlier supported ISRO in its launch missions like LVM3 M2/OneWeb India-1 Mission, Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, Aditya L1 etc. and it gives us immense pride that ISRO looks at us as a dependable partner. We look forward to partner with ISRO for many more missions to come including Gaganyaan, the prestigious manned mission of ISRO,” said Rajesh Rai, Chairman and Managing Director of ITI Limited.
