Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) wants the industry, which already accounts for 60 per cent of its budget, to become a risk-sharing partner as the country’s space programme gets bigger and into the fast-track.
Delivering the keynote address at Bengaluru Space Expo 2010 here, a four-day exhibition focusing on space, satellites and its technologies, ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan urged the industry to become a risk-sharing partner in the coming years, which he said, would add strength to both parties.
