Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites ABSTRACT Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the Indian military. Small satellites are not a panacea for the C4ISR needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, but will help partially address their sensor-related requirements. They also contribute to a multi-layered and distributed capability for the Indian armed services. Investment in Small Satellites should assume greater salience in Indian defence planning in the coming years.

GSLV Mk III in Race with Spacex's Falcon 9 for Global Satellite Market
GSLV Mk III in Race with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 for Global Satellite Market NSIL will offer India’s heaviest rocket to global customers to launch their satellites from Indian soil [email protected] Bengaluru: State-owned NewSpace India Ltd will offer India’s heaviest rocket — Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle — GSLV Mk III against SpaceX’s Falcon 9 as it taps global customers to launch their communication satellites from Indian soil. The homegrown rocket developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) can launch 4-tonne communication satellites to a geostationary transit orbit (GTO), or 36,000 kilometres into space, and around 10 tonnes of payload to lowearth orbit. Falcon9 of SpaceX, which reuses boosters to bring down launch costs, can put payloads of up to 8.3 tonnes in GTO and 22 tonnes to low-earth orbit. “There are many customers who are keen to launch their communication satellites as a dedicated payload instead of (as) a co-passenger,” said D Radhakrishnan, director — Technical & Strategy, NSIL. Most communication satellites weigh around 4-5 tonnes and Falcon9, due to its larger capacity, can carry two satellites. The co-passenger may have to wait for the main satellite to be ready for launch, he said. GSLV Mk III will be competitive in launching 4-tonne class of satellites despite competition from SpaceX and Soyuz, the Russian rocket offered by Arianespace, Radhakrishnan said. After India opened up its space sector last year, NSIL has been in talks with Isro to take over its proven rockets as well as operating satellites under its fold. -

The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) has observed an increase in pre-placement offers (PPOs) yet again this academic year of 2018- 19. As many as 130 students (excluding Department of Management Studies) of IIT Madras got PPOs against 114 in the preceding year. The Department of Management Studies (DOMS), IIT Madras, which coordinates its own internships and placements, also recorded an increase in PPOs during 2018-19. One of the principal reasons for this strong show in PPOs has been the robust internship program of IIT Madras, which helped students in getting internships at top-notch companies. Speaking about the reasons behind the increase in PPOs this year, Prof Manu Santhanam said, "Each year, we have regularly seen an increase in the number of PPOs. -
