Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace has signed a two-year pact with Brazil's Concert Technologies to develop a satellite launch rocket that can carry at least 100 kg into low Earth orbit.
The October memorandum, signed at a space congress in Antalya, aims to fill the gap between Brazil's 40 kg microlauncher and Skyroot's bigger Vikram rockets.
The two sides will study technical needs, commercial options and satellite constellation work, while investment and supply deals will need separate agreements. Skyroot put its Vikram-1 into orbit in July.
