India's Space-Tech Startup Digantara to Launch 'Nano-Satellite'

The video discusses the impact of government support and privatization on the growth of space startups in India. It highlights the need for space traffic management, drawing parallels with the aviation sector. The role of nanosatellites in tracking space debris is explained, along with future plans for debris mitigation. The video also covers recent reforms in India's space sector, encouraging private sector involvement, and details collaboration with ISRO on technology development for space missions.

What has been a significant factor in the growth of space startups in India?

• Decrease in satellite launches

• Lack of regulations

• Government support and privatization

• Increased competition from international companies

Why is space traffic management becoming necessary?

• To reduce the cost of satellite launches

• To manage the increasing number of commercial satellites and human spaceflights

• To improve communication between satellites

• To prevent space tourism

What is the primary advantage of space-based sensors over ground-based systems?

• They are cheaper to produce

• They can operate without human intervention

• They are not affected by atmospheric limitations

• They require less maintenance

What is the first step in space debris mitigation?

• Tracking and cataloging space objects

• Launching more satellites

• Removing debris from orbit

• Increasing funding for space missions

What role does the Indian government play in the growth of space startups?

• Providing financial support to international companies

• Creating a transparent policy framework

• Limiting the number of new startups

• Focusing only on government-led projects

How is the collaboration with ISRO contributing to space missions?

• By developing technologies for human spaceflight safety

• By reducing the number of satellites launched

• By focusing solely on ground-based systems

• By limiting private sector involvement

What is one of the technologies being developed for human spaceflight safety?

• A faster satellite launch vehicle

• An advanced communication system

• A proton dosimeter for tracking space radiation

• A new type of rocket fuel
