Tata Advanced Systems Limited and Satellogic Inc. announced the successful deployment into space of TASL?s TSAT-1A satellite aboard the Bandwagon-1 mission, which SpaceX?s Falcon 9 rocket launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA, at 23:16 UTC on April 7, 2024. TSAT-1A has been assembled in TASL?s Assembly, Integration and Testing (?AIT?) plant at its Vemagal facility in Karnataka. This achievement follows the collaboration signed between TASL and Satellogic in November 2023, leveraging Satellogic?s expertise to develop and integrate an advanced EO satellite in India and TASL?s capability to undertake complex system integration.

TSAT-1A will deliver high-resolution optical satellite images with increased collection capacity, dynamic range, and low-latency delivery through its multispectral and hyperspectral capabilities. Satellogic provided industry knowledge transfer, foundational components, IP licensing terms, and support in constructing an AIT facility in India ? features of its Space Systems offering for direct satellite sales.
