On Tuesday, BITS Pilani Hyderabad announced a collaboration with space technology start-up Dhruva Space to establish a Satellite Communication Technologies Research and Development Centre. According to a press release from BITS Pilani Hyderabad, the Dhruva Space SATCOM Research and Development Center has already established an Earth Station that can be configured to operate in the L/C/S and X Bands. Several academic institutions in India and abroad have been developing small satellites with communication payloads, but data transmission rates are typically limited to a few kbps, according to the report.

According to the release, the Earth Station established at BITS Hyderabad will not only support data rates in the order of Mbps, but will also pave the way for testing newer satellite communications technologies. According to Prof G Sundar, Director of BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, such collaboration will lead to knowledge creation and dissemination of efficient satellite communication for various applications, and the BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus looks forward to contributing to the R & D of the Spacetech sector and the space economy with such collaboration.
