Hyderabad. 10 February 2023. Ananth Technologies today shared its contribution to the SSLV-D2 launch by ISRO across the spectrum of the Launch Vehicle and its Spacecrafts JANUS-1 and EOS-7.
JANUS-1 is a software defined 6U technology demonstration satellite designed and built using the Antaris cloud software platform and SatOS™ software, as well as XDLinx’s modular Spacecraft Bus with Ananth Technologies as its Master Systems Integrator (MSI). The complete Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) for JANUS-1 has been conducted successfully at Ananth Technologies’ new AIT facility in Bengaluru’s Aerospace Park. The high efficiency and mission optimized Solar Panels of JANUS-1 have also been fully indigenized by Ananth Technologies.
According to Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, Chairman & Managing Director – ANANTH Technologies Ltd., “The successful launch of JANUS-1 proves the power of Anataris and XDLinx’s software and bus platforms respectively when coupled with Ananth’s manufacturing and AIT prowess. The cost and time savings that is achieved through this approach is immense and best in the industry.”
From concept to launch readiness, JANUS-1 was designed and built in just 10 months at a cost savings of 75% over comparable satellite missions. JANUS-1 carries 5 different payloads including IOT and communication systems. In addition to the JANUS-1 satellite, Ananth Technologies’ Thiruvananthapuram unit has also made significant contributions to the SSLV-D2 launch vehicle. Ananth Technologies supported in realizing critical NGC packages including VLV-Dry and PYRO cards. It has also supported VSSC in all of the electrical harnessing of Avionics sub-assemblies for this mission.
The EOS-7 satellite was the primary payload of this SSLV-D2 launch. Ananth’s Bangalore Spacecraft team has contributed various avionics subsystems for EOS-7 including IRU, BMU, LEMA and DC-DC converters packages.
