Details: Post the announcement of space sector reforms in 2020, the number of registered space start-ups has grown exponentially to over 300. IN-SPACe has facilitated two successful sub-orbital flights from Indian space start-ups in November 2022 and May 2024 respectively. Additionally, Six Non-Governmental Entities (NGEs) have launched fourteen satellites into orbit, demonstrating their capabilities. Another parameter to gauge the impact of space sector reforms is by the number of proposals submitted for facilitation and authorization. IN-SPACe has received a total 658 applications from more than 380 NGEs for various activities. This support extended in Launch Vehicles and subsystem (89), Satellite launch and Subsystems (236), Ground Segment (43), Space applications (124), Promotional and Design Lab activities st (121) & etc. as on 31 March, 2025. IN-SPACe has issued 77 authorizations, signed 79 MoUs, issued 59 registration certificates to 3l data disseminators, signed 91 Joint Project Implementation Plans (JPIPs), and 79 transfer of technology st agreements post Space Sector Reforms as on 31 March 2025. Satellite data is used for enabling food security by generating multiple forecasts of crop production for major crops, towards informed decisions on stock & price management and export/ import policy decisions. Satellite data is used for generating crop & location specific weather based agro advisories for income enhancement of farming community, under the Gramin Krishi Mausam Seva (GKMS). Mapping of Kharif rice fallows helped crop intensification in 6 eastern states (Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Assam and West Bengal), under National Food Security Mission. Semi-physical yield model developed by ISRO for rice & wheat using space technology inputs has been selected as part of the suite of models of YES-TECH programme under PMFBY, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (MoAFW). The yield model developed by ISRO is being operationally rolled out for faster and transparent claim settlements of farmers in 9 states. Satellite data is used in the hazard; vulnerability; risk (HVR) assessment, disaster monitoring, damage assessment, and development of early warning systems for major disasters such as flood, cyclones, landslide, earthquakes and forest fire. The space-based disaster specific products are being used by MHA, NDMA, StateDMS organisations, and NDRF. Flood inundation is being mapped for major floods every year (in 16 States during 2024) using satellite data, and the maps help the state nodal organisations for effective flood disaster management. Flood Hazard Zonation atlases have been developed using historical satellite-derived flood data since 1998 for several major flood-prone states, including Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. These serve as non-structural input for flood hazard mitigation and for developmental planning. As part of the National Hydrology Project, ISRO developed spatial flood early warning systems for Godavari and Tapi Rivers, and are being run operationally since 2022. It helps decision making on flood hazard mitigation, including evacuation planning. Active forest fires are detected using satellite data daily 6 to 8 times during the Indian forest fire season, and is ongoing for the fire season in 2025 also. This input helps the State Forest Departments for taking risk management measures. As part of approval received from Government for Gaganyaan follow-on Missions Leading to Precursor for Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) – “Revision in Gaganyaan Programme” on 9th October 2024, a second manned mission - H2 will follow first crewed mission H1. st nd 2nd crewed mission is targeted after the accomplishment of 1 crewed mission. Since the 2 crewed mission st is similar to 1 crewed mission, existing collaborations with various agencies is expected to continue. This information was given by Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space, MoS Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today. ***** NKR/PSM/AV (Release ID: 2147734)
