Hyderabad-based Ananth Technologies Limited (ATL) has played an important role in helping the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieve its remarkable 100th successful space mission. ATL, a key partner of ISRO, contributed significantly to the recent GSLV F15 launch and the NVS-2 satellite mission, marking another step forward in India’s space exploration journey.
The company, known for its expertise in advanced avionics and systems integration, provided crucial components for both missions. For the NVS-2 satellite, ATL supplied critical subsystems, including Attitude and Orbit Control Electronics, Star Sensor Mark-III, and a DC-DC converter. For the GSLV F15 launch vehicle, it delivered 40 essential components such as Data Acquisition Units, Transponders, Power Modules, Relay Units, and Control Modules.
Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, the Chairman and Managing Director of Ananth Technologies, expressed his pride in the company’s collaboration with ISRO. He stated, “Ananth Technologies has been a trusted partner for ISRO, and we are honored to contribute to this historic achievement. Over the years, we have played an integral role in several of ISRO’s successful missions by providing innovative avionics and systems that have ensured the success of these missions.”
Founded in Hyderabad, ATL also operates advanced facilities in Thiruvananthapuram. These facilities focus on the fabrication, assembly, and testing of subsystems for both satellites and launch vehicles. So far, ATL has supported the development of 103 satellites and 83 launch vehicles, showcasing its vital contribution to India’s growing space capabilities.
Over time, ATL’s role in ISRO’s missions has expanded significantly. The company now provides full-scale Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) services, in addition to manufacturing subsystems. It has successfully handled AIT for 10 PSLV missions, from PSLV C51 to PSLV C60, with two more missions currently under integration. Moreover, ATL has fully integrated and tested both SPADEX satellites at its state-of-the-art facilities, further demonstrating its expertise and commitment to advancing space technology in India.
