Can the software used for the Chandrayaan-3 landing be used to prevent the car from colliding? Can technology from cameras developed for navigation in space be used to count people in crowded places? Can anti-corrosive paints developed at the Institute of Space Research in India (ISRO) be used to protect the roof?
The Indian National Space Promotion and Certification Centre (Space), an independent body under the Ministry of Space to regulate and promote India’s private space industry, has been developed for at least 166 ISRO missions that can be shared with the industry. Identified the technology. It is used for other purposes.
Some materials and sensors are already being utilized by space startups in their own launch vehicles and satellites, but several technologies are provided to industries such as automobiles and construction.
“All these technologies have been developed by ISRO for their own use, whether they are launch vehicles or satellites. They can now be used in other fields, for example, for Chandrayaan-3 landings. Cameras, software, and algorithms that are being used in the automotive industry to prevent collisions. Alternatively, when the airbag opens using pressure sensors used to maintain propellant checks during firing. You can decide whether to do it,” says Rajiefjyoti, technical director and technical director of Indian Express.
So far, 79 Memorandums of Understanding – All Non-Exclusive – have been signed with private companies for the transfer of such technology. All of these contracts are non-exclusive, so the technology can be shared with multiple companies, but ISRO continues to retain intellectual property rights.
Over the years, space exploration has led to the development of technologies that have improved daily life. Everyday items such as cell phone cameras, air purifiers, memory foam mattresses, or reflective blankets used in emergencies all come from research into their own missions by the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Ta.
In-Space recently exhibited its technology in the automotive industry, but Director Jyoti says several other industries, such as construction, logistics and electricity, could benefit from its use.

One of the technologies offered is the 3D Lidar (light imaging detection and range) camera developed by the Space Application Center for space navigation. The camera generates a 3D image containing information about the depth of the various objects in the frame. The camera provides this information by correlating the light reflected from these objects.
The technology offers multiple uses, including detecting and counting people in chaotic locations such as markets, measuring parcels before they appear, supporting helicopters for close flights, and detecting hazards or pedestrians to avoid collisions. It may have.
In the healthcare field, physical measurements such as waist and hip sizes, which are performed using 3D LIDAR cameras, can be used to predict the risk of lifestyle illnesses. This technology could also affect areas of home devices, such as gesture recognition on mobile phones, televisions and gaming platforms.
The space agency will also transfer technology for developing cost-effective lithium-ion (LI-IN) batteries. Li-Inion batteries will be essential for future sectors like electric vehicles, which will help green transportation systems.

It also provides space agency technology with regard to vibration management systems developed to protect sensitive electronic and optical systems on satellites from the vibrations, shocks and noise experienced during travel, especially during takeoff. In addition to possible applications in separating earthquakes, vibration management systems also have applications in air, roads and sea transport, as they are a technology that allows buildings and other structures to remain safe during earthquakes.
Next are some paints, coatings and polymers developed by the island. For example, NRCM-204 is a highly corrosion resistant coating. Unlike traditional coatings that cannot withstand such corrosive environments, NRCM-204 can protect metals and composites from almost any type of corrosion, including various acids.
Isro’s benzoxazine polymer can be used for encapsulation in electronic devices and printed circuit boards. This easily processed polymer remains stable at various temperatures and has good flame delays.
“These technologies are either offered to out-of-use space startups or to other industries to adapt to their own applications. Companies are chosen based on the absorption capacity of the technology. Automotive Industry Looking at it alone, most sensors are now sourced from other countries. ISRO has developed niche sensors that are not produced in large quantities, but domestic production and scale-up are undoubtedly these It leads to a multifaceted decline in sensor prices,” says Jyoti of In-Space.
