BrahMos Aerospace, ISRO sign pact

Thiruvananthapuram: The BrahMos Aerospace has signed an agreement with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for taking up engineering and integration of the space agency’s launch vehicles PSLV and GSLV.

The Rs. 25-crore pact involves work on ISRO’s tankages, special aluminium work and all titanium work, a senior BrahMos official said here on Wedsnesday.

The Brahmos facility would also take up space technology-related infrastructure work for ISRO’s future missions.

Brahmos Aerospace established its unit here early this year by taking over the State-owned Kerala High-tech Industries Ltd (KELTEC). Even when it was a State-run facility, it used to supply some components and sub-assemblies to ISRO. — PTI
