The Ministry of Defence signed its 350th iDEX contract with SpacePixxel Technologies Pvt Ltd for developing a miniature observation and imaging satellite for the Indian Air Force. This initiative aims to innovate in space electronics by miniaturising payloads that were previously deployed on large satellites. The new satellite will integrate multiple miniaturised payloads, offering benefits like faster deployment and lower environmental impact. Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane praised the commitment of defence innovators and assured them of continued support.
