Hyderabad firm supplies key avionics for ISRO's GSLV-F17, EOS-05 mission

Ananth Technologies supplied critical avionics and spacecraft subsystems for ISRO's GSLV-F17 launch and the EOS-05 imaging satellite.

Hyderabad-based Ananth Technologies (ATL) played a significant role in ISRO's recent GSLV-F17 mission, supplying critical avionics, electronics, and spacecraft subsystems for both the launch vehicle and the EOS-05 (GISAT-1A) Earth observation satellite.

For the GSLV-F17 launch vehicle, ATL delivered 28 packages covering essential functions such as power management, stage processing, and command execution. The company was also responsible for the integration and checkout of all four L-40 nose-cone decks and the complete harnessing of the GS2 stage. Additionally, ATL conducted testing and evaluation of the navigation, guidance, control, and control electronics packages for the mission.

On the spacecraft side, ATL contributed 15 systems to EOS-05, India's first imaging satellite placed in geosynchronous orbit. This contribution includes 10 critical power-management packages, along with systems supporting power conversion and distribution, onboard computing, and attitude determination functions.

The company operates advanced facilities in Bengaluru for satellite assembly, integration, and testing, and in Thiruvananthapuram for the fabrication, assembly, and testing of launch vehicle subsystems.

Chairman Subba Rao Pavuluri noted that the company's involvement across launch vehicle electronics, stage integration, and spacecraft systems reflects its growing end-to-end capabilities within the Indian space ecosystem.
