About ANANTH Technologies

ANANTH Technologies is a leading Indian aerospace company that manufactures satellites and spacecraft components. The company was founded in 1992 by Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, currently its Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) for the entire group of companies, being an iconic technologist and entrepreneur, developing extensive experience in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) along the last 40+ years. Currently, ANANTH staff is around 1600+, along 5 major cities in India, which production facilities in Hyderabad and Bangalore.

MEREGE has been developing its solid relationship with ANANTH through Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri himself, for more than one decade so far (since early 2013, when running Latin America for his Swiss based satellite operator AOneSat), later becoming the only Americas representative of ANANTH for the entire group.

ANANTH is a key player in the Indian aerospace industry and is helping to position India as a global leader in the space sector for the last 3 deacades.

Here are some of the notable achievements:

• ANANTH developed India’s first indigenous satellite navigation system, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS).
• ANANTH has manufactured satellites for a number of Indian space missions, including Chandrayaan-2, Mars Orbiter Mission, and Astrosat.
• ANANTH is involved in the development of India’s next-generation space launch vehicles, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) and the Heavy Lift Vehicle (HLV).
• ANANTH is also involved in the development of India’s Human Spaceflight Program.

ANANTH is a dynamic and growing company that is playing a major role in the development of India’s space program. The company is committed to providing innovative and cost-effective solutions for the Indian space sector and abroad.

Satellite Manufacturing

ANANTH has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, which is equipped with the latest technologies. ANANTH manufactures a wide range of satellites, including communication, earth observation and navigation satellites.

The satellite manufacturing process at ANANTH begins with the design of the satellite. The company’s team of experienced engineers works closely with customers to understand their specific requirements and design a satellite that meets those requirements. Once the design is finalized, the company begins manufacturing the various components of the satellite.

The satellite components are manufactured using a variety of processes, including machining, welding, and 3D printing. The company also has a dedicated facility for the assembly and integration of satellites, which is able to produce up to 6 satellites in parallel. Once all the components are manufactured, they are assembled and integrated into the complete satellite.

Satellite Integration

Satellite integration is the process of assembling and testing all the components of a satellite to ensure that it works as a single system. This is a complex process that requires a high level of precision and expertise.

ANANTH has a dedicated team of engineers and technicians who are responsible for satellite integration. The team uses a variety of tools and techniques to integrate the satellite components and test the system. Once the integration is complete, the satellite is ready for launch.

Satellite Launching

ISRO is the Indian space agency responsible for launching satellites from India. ISRO has a number of launch vehicles, including the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).

The PSLV is a workhorse launch vehicle that has been used to launch over 50 satellites into orbit. The GSLV is a more powerful launch vehicle that can launch heavier satellites into higher orbits.

ISRO launches satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The launch process begins with the integration of the satellite with the launch vehicle. Once the integration is complete, the satellite and launch vehicle are transported to the launch pad.

The launch vehicle is then fueled and prepared for launch. The launch sequence is initiated and the launch vehicle lifts off from the launch pad. The launch vehicle carries the satellite to its desired orbit and releases it.

ANANTH Technologies and ISRO Infrastructure

ANANTH Technologies and ISRO have a close working relationship. ANANTH manufactures satellites and spacecraft components for ISRO, and ISRO launches satellites built by ANANTH.

ANANTH also uses ISRO’s infrastructure for satellite testing and launch. The company has access to ISRO’s facilities for environmental testing, vibration testing, and electromagnetic compatibility testing.

ANANTH’s Chairman & Manager Director, Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, is a technologist and an entrepreneur with extensive experience in the Indian Space Program for over four decades.

Dr. Pavuluri is a visionary leader who has played a key role in the development of India’s space program. He is a strong advocate for public-private partnerships in the space sector and believes that the Indian space industry has the potential to become a global leader.

Chandrayaan-3

Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission and a follow-up to the Chandrayaan-2 mission. The mission was launched on July 14, 2023, and has succesfully landed on the south pole of the Moon on August 23, 2023, making India the first country in the world to accomplish it.

Chandrayaan-3 consists of a lander and a rover. The lander carries a number of scientific instruments, including a lunar seismograph, a thermal imaging spectrometer, and a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy instrument. The rover also carries a number of scientific instruments, including a high-resolution camera, a mass spectrometer, and a ground penetrating radar.

The mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are to:

• Demonstrate safe and soft landing on the lunar surface.
• Demonstrate rover capabilities on the Moon.
• Study the lunar surface composition and mineralogy.
• Study the lunar atmosphere and plasma environment.
• Study the lunar subsurface structure.

Chandrayaan-3 is a complex mission and is the first Indian mission to land on the Moon. The success of the mission has been a major milestone in India’s space program.

ANANTH Technologies and Chandrayaan-3

ANANTH Technologies is playing a major role in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The company has manufactured a number of components for the lander and rover, including the solar panels, the batteries, and the thermal insulation. ANANTH is also providing support to ISRO for the integration and testing of the lander and rover.

The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has been a testament to the capabilities of the Indian space industry and to the partnership between ANANTH and ISRO.
