S. Somanath, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), stated on Wednesday that it is contradictory when sensors for vehicles are imported while those for rockets and spacecraft are produced in India. "You know, many of the automotive sensors and sensor systems present in cars and automobiles are all imported," Somanath stated on the second day of the three-day Bengaluru Tech Summit's space technology and defense session.
Nothing is produced in India. We discovered that we could leverage the space-based sensors we construct in India, which could be made affordably, to support this industry."
He went on to say that all of the sensors for the rockets are manufactured in India. "I thought there was a contradiction in the reason behind this. The nature of engineering is to blame.
Although they are manufactured in India, space sensors are more expensive. Therefore, in order to serve the industry itself, we need industry experts to join us and collaborate on how we can produce them in large quantities in India," he stated.
"Therefore, it is crucial that we invest time and resources into all of these by holding workshops," he stated, adding that they would be holding a workshop in a week where a discussion between the Indian automobile industry and the space eco-system.
