Tata Advanced Systems Limited and Satellogic Inc. announced their collaboration for establishing and developing local space technology capabilities in India. This collaboration is a first step in TASL's satellite strategy and a significant milestone for Satellogic as it enters the fast-growing Indian defense and commercial market. The project will commence with comprehensive training, knowledge transfer, and local assembly of optical sub-meter resolution EO satellites, the first of which is planned to be launched as TSAT-1A.

The focus will be on manufacturing satellites and developing imagery in India for national defense and commercial applications, toward which TASL is commissioning a satellite AIT plant at its Vemagal facility in Karnataka. TASL and Satellogic will collaborate on the development of a new satellite design and work together to integrate multiple payloads on a single satellite that will generate a diverse range of data over India. This contract marks Satellogic's second Space Systems customer, following an agreement with an international space agency.
