New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) The 36th plenary of ISO TC 20/SC 14 on Space Systems and Operations, organised by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) in collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), was inaugurated on Monday.
The five-day event will witness deliberations on key areas driving a sustainable and commercially-viable space economy, including orbital debris, space environment, downstream space services and design engineering.
Dr Pawan Goenka, chairman of IN-SPACe, in his inaugural address, said, “The Indian space sector is undergoing a paradigm shift from a State-operated model to a private sector-driven space economy. Hosting this plenary in India at this juncture has provided a valuable opportunity for the Indian space industry to contribute to global standard formation.” “Adopting and aligning with these standards will enable the development of globally-competitive and interoperable space systems,” he added.
The plenary will see the participation of more than 200 delegates from 33 member nations in a hybrid format, including around 55 delegates from 10 countries attending in person.
At the event, IN-SPACe and BIS will also organise an international workshop on space systems standardisation on May 7, featuring four panel discussions covering the complete lifecycle of space systems. PTI ALC RC
