Paris, 21th September 2022 – Digantara Research and Technologies Private Limited (Digantara) and Rocket Factory Augsburg AG (RFA) sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand their partnership in the areas of launch procurement and Space Situational Awareness (SSA). Under this partnership, RFA will launch two Digantara satellites into low Earth orbit using its RFA ONE launch system. In addition, Digantara will work with RFA to enable safer space operations through their “Space-MAP” (Space – Mission Assurance Platform) one-stop platform.
Jörn Spurmann, Chief Commercial Officer at RFA: “Small- to medium-sized constellations like Digantara’s will be the driving force of the New Space Economy. We are proud that another international customer has chosen our highly competitive launch service. Digantara will significantly improve the precision of SSA and will enable safer spaceflight operations for everyone.”
Rahul Rawat, Chief Operating Officer at Digantara: “Working with small satellite launch providers like RFA will allow satellite constellation operators to overcome two significant bottlenecks facing the launch industry today. The ability to precisely insert satellites into orbit, combined with the ability to launch and deploy satellites on demand, will allow RFA to play an important role in enabling small constellation operators like us to get to market faster. In addition, RFA’s interest in safer space operations and sustainable use of space through SSA data sets and analysis is encouraging.”
