印度太空儿童:政府应该“免除或降低”卫星部件的关税
“…当你不能在这里获得组件，而你从国外获得组件时，最重要的是，如果你必须支付这么多钱。这太贵了。它对任何人来说都是杀手，”金奈航空初创公司创始人Srimathy Kesan在接受ETSatcom采访时表示。
“…当你不能在这里获得组件，而你从国外获得组件时，最重要的是，如果你必须支付这么多钱。这太贵了。这对任何人来说都是致命的。”Srimathy Kesan这家位于金奈的航空初创公司的创始人在接受ETSatcom采访时表示。
Kesan说，发射成本一般在35000美元到65000美元之间。每公斤有效载荷284.7万卢比至52.88万卢比)，也应该降低。“我们需要经常飞行。如果你在1月份有一个，那么如果你要在11月份有一个，那就有一个巨大的差距。(这一)差距需要弥合。”
据她介绍，SSLV类似于“本地总线”，它支持在三天内安装火箭，从而大幅削减发射所需的时间。
“如果你提前10天找到他们(ISRO)，他们就愿意发射。如果有频繁的发射，那么行业会做善事的。”
36的发布OneWebKesan说，印度空间研究组乐动扑克织(ISRO)的商业部门新空间印度有限公司(NSIL)的卫星吸引了大量资金进入该国，同时强调了亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克的卫星SpaceX公司对印度来说是一场激烈的竞争。
“对印度来说，SpaceX是一个真正有力的竞争对手，因为一旦印度开始大幅降价，他们也想大幅降价。”
OneWeb将向ISRO支付共计100亿卢比，用于发射72颗卫星Sunil Bharti Mittal据报道说。其中36颗卫星于2022年10月22日发射。
根据space Kidz高管的说法，太空产业价值1万亿美元，需要参与者之间加强合作才能实现增长。
Kesan说，在该中心向私营企业开放后，印度新兴航天工业的活动有所增加，印度国家空间促进和授权中心(in - space)也一直在提供支持。

1月16日，ISRO将在SSLV上发射太空儿童的AzaadiSAT卫星。这颗卫星是由750名女学生建造的。流明Datamatics通过企业社会责任拨款为初创公司提供财务支持。
Kesan表示，资金，特别是太空创业公司的资金，是一个主要问题。“…因为一个零部件，当他们不得不进口时，要花25 - 30万卢比。一个10克的传感器价值30万卢比。当我们进口它时，我们要支付的关税是77%。我们不能买两个传感器，我们也不能保持库存。这非常困难，因为我们不能花这么多钱。”
虽然Space Kidz迄今为止一直处于创业阶段，但随着其日益增长的雄心，它希望在1-2年内筹集到3500万美元。她向ETSatcom独家透露，该公司还打算将员工人数从12人增加到至少30人，主要是通过招聘工程专业的学生。
“在2023年，我们希望发出所有的提案，发出我们正在寻找资金的消息，并希望会见所有的风险投资公司和全球各地的每个人。我们将在整个2023年和2024年这样做。我相信我们会锁定某个地方，”Kesan说。“我很肯定。”

\u201c...When you don't get the components here, and when you're getting the components from abroad, on top of it if you have to pay so much. It is very exorbitant. It's a killer for anybody,\u201d Srimathy Kesan<\/a>, Founder of the Chennai-based aerospace startup, told ETSatcom in an interview.
Kesan said that the launch cost, which ranges typically between $35,000 to $65,000 (approx. Rs 28.47 lakh to Rs 52.88 lakh) for a kilo of payload, should also be lowered. \u201cAnd we need to have frequent flights. If you have one in January, then if you're going to have something in November, there is a huge gap. [This] gap needs to be bridged,\u201d she added.
<\/div><\/div>She noted that the Indian Space Research Organisation<\/a> (ISRO)\u2019s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) has provided a breather to space startups.
According to her, the SSLV is akin to a \u201clocal bus\u201d, which supports the fitting of a rocket within three days, thereby slashing the time required to launch.
\u201cIf you come to them [ISRO] 10 days beforehand, they are willing to launch. If there are frequent launches, then the industry<\/a> will do good.\u201d
The launch of 36 OneWeb<\/a> satellites by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of the ISRO, attracted good money into the country, said Kesan while highlighting that billionaire Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX<\/a> is a tough competition for India.
\u201cSpaceX is a real tough competition for India because once India starts slashing the prices, they also want to slash the prices.\u201d
OneWeb will pay a total of Rs 1,000 crores to ISRO for the launch of its 72 satellites, the satcom company\u2019s chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal<\/a> reportedly said. Of these, 36 satellites were launched on October 22, 2022.
The space industry, according to the Space Kidz executive, is worth $1 trillion and requires greater collaboration between players for growth.
The activity in India\u2019s nascent space industry has increased after the Centre opened it to private players, and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) has been providing support too, said Kesan.

<\/div><\/div>Sharing Space Kidz\u2019s plans for 2023-24, she said the aerospace startup has lined up a couple of balloon launches, plans to build three nanosatellites out of a planned fleet of 18 nanosatellites for communications while aligning itself for launching a satellite to the Moon.

And when we import it, the duty that we have to pay is 77%. We cannot buy two sensors, and we cannot keep a stock of them. It's very difficult because we cannot spend so much money.\u201d
While Space Kidz has been bootstrapped to date, in line with its growing ambitions, it is looking to raise up to $35 million within 1-2 years. It also intends to increase its headcount from 12 to at least 30, primarily by hiring engineering students, she told ETSatcom exclusively.
\u201cIn 2023, we want to send out all the proposals and send out the word that we are looking for funding and want to meet all the VCs and everybody across the globe. We will be doing that for the entire of 2023 and 2024. I'm sure we will lock in somewhere,\u201d said Kesan. \u201cI'm pretty positive.\u201d

Kesan described funding, specifically for space startups, as a major issue. \u201c...because one component, when they have to import at all, costs Rs 2.5-3 lakhs. A 10 grams sensor is Rs 3 lakhs. And when we import it, the duty that we have to pay is 77%. We cannot buy two sensors, and we cannot keep a stock of them. It's very difficult because we cannot spend so much money.\u201d
While Space Kidz has been bootstrapped to date, in line with its growing ambitions, it is looking to raise up to $35 million within 1-2 years. It also intends to increase its headcount from 12 to at least 30, primarily by hiring engineering students, she told ETSatcom exclusively.
\u201cIn 2023, we want to send out all the proposals and send out the word that we are looking for funding and want to meet all the VCs and everybody across the globe. We will be doing that for the entire of 2023 and 2024. I'm sure we will lock in somewhere,\u201d said Kesan. \u201cI'm pretty positive.\u201d

Kesan described funding, specifically for space startups, as a major issue. \u201c...because one component, when they have to import at all, costs Rs 2.5-3 lakhs. A 10 grams sensor is Rs 3 lakhs. And when we import it, the duty that we have to pay is 77%. We cannot buy two sensors, and we cannot keep a stock of them. It's very difficult because we cannot spend so much money.\u201d
While Space Kidz has been bootstrapped to date, in line with its growing ambitions, it is looking to raise up to $35 million within 1-2 years. It also intends to increase its headcount from 12 to at least 30, primarily by hiring engineering students, she told ETSatcom exclusively.
\u201cIn 2023, we want to send out all the proposals and send out the word that we are looking for funding and want to meet all the VCs and everybody across the globe. We will be doing that for the entire of 2023 and 2024. I'm sure we will lock in somewhere,\u201d said Kesan. \u201cI'm pretty positive.\u201d
