1. EoI Objective:

Driven with the mandate of realizing 12-18 Satellites Per Annum, ISAC is looking

forward to scale up Industry participation in Satellite building activities. ISAC is

planning to involve multiple Vendors to take up Assembly, Integration and Testing

Activities of different types of satellites at ISAC premises.

The purpose of this EoI is to invite proposals from the potential vendors to carry out

Spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Testing [AIT] of ISRO satellites. On successful

completion of EoI and RFP stage, depending on the response of vendors and their

capability, multiple vendors shall be selected with parallel rate contracts. The tenure

of the contract is planned for a period of three years which may be extended for a

further period of two years subject to satisfactory performance of the Vendors and

mutual agreement between ISAC and Vendors. Satellite AIT workload for different

satellites will be distributed among the selected vendors during their tenure of the

contract as per vendor capacity, performance and ISAC requirements. In future,

ISAC will be looking towards end-to-end realisation of satellite through vendors. In

order to understand the scope of work in Spacecraft level AIT it is imperative to know

about the satellite subsystems.

Preference will be given to the companies:

• Having strong technical capability and experience of handling complex

activities in the field of Aerospace.

• Possessing skilled resources from reputed institutions and domain expertise

in the field of Design, Development , Integration and Testing activities

• Having Strong Quality objective & Policy with well defined key performance

indicators and adopting good quality practices in work.

• With good financial stability and consistent financial performance.

Mere Technical manpower supplier/Technical service providers will not be given

priority owing to the complexity involved in Satellite, Integration & Testing activities.

2. Introduction to Satellite Subsystems:

ISRO Satellite Centre [ISAC] is one of the lead Centres of the Indian Space

Research Organisation [ISRO] responsible for Design, Development, Assembly and

Integration of Satellites for various applications.

ISAC main campus is spread across a 32 acre campus at Old Airport Road,

Vimanapura post in Bengaluru. To cater to the growing demand for satellite

applications, ISRO Satellite Integration & Testing Establishment [ISITE], a 110 acre

campus which is about 8 km away from the main campus was also established.

ISAC/ISITE houses state-of-the-art design, fabrication, and test facilities and large

clean rooms for the assembly, integration and testing of various types of satellites.

Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems [LEOS], situated at Peenya Industrial Estate,

Bengaluru is engaged in design, development and production of Electro-Optic

sensors and camera optics for satellites and launch vehicles.

The ISAC main campus and ISITE campus are hereinafter collectively referred to as

‘ISAC’. The specialised teams of scientists, engineers and technicians at ISAC have

built more than 90 complex and advanced satellites for various applications in areas

of telecommunications, television broadcasting, VSAT services, tele-medicine, tele-

education, navigation, weather forecasting, disaster warning, search & rescue

operations, earth observations, natural resource management, space science and

interplanetary missions etc.

The Satellite Programme at ISAC is categorized into:

• Geo-Stationary Satellite Programme • Satellite Navigation Programme • Earth Observation & Small Satellite Programme • Space Science Programme

Based on the mass and power generation the satellites are also classified into

mainly three bus platforms. Satellites built at ISAC are realised around the

configurations as given in the following table.

ISRO SATELLITE CENTRE, BENGALURU 10

Outsourcing of Spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Testing [AIT] Activities

ISAC has set the target of building about 12-18 satellites per year to cater to the

growing demand for satellite based applications and the centre is presently engaged

in the challenging task of building future generation advanced communication,

remote sensing, navigation and space science satellites. In order to meet this huge

demand, ISAC is striving for increasing collaboration and contribution from Indian

vendors to build satellites. Presently, vendors are involved in various satellite

building activities such as electronic and mechanical subsystem parts manufacturing,

subsystem fabrication and testing, etc. There is an opportunity for vendors to

contribute in the field of space by building satellites and the scope of vendors

participation is bound to increase, both in terms of volume and complexity. Vendor

participation on a large scale is required not only to meet goals of ISAC but also for

self-reliance resulting in higher throughput.

After successfully completing the vendor’s participation in subsystem level

fabrication and testing, ISAC has extended the scope of vendor participation for

spacecraft level assembly, integration and testing activities recently. On successful

completion of these tests, the spacecraft will be shipped to the launch base for

launch. In addition to this, the centre has opened up opportunities for vendors

interested in collaborating with ISAC for carrying out Satellite AIT for different

categories of standard ISRO satellites as per ISAC’s procedures and guidelines.

Interested vendors shall express their interest for the same. The details of ISAC’s

requirements from vendors are provided in the subsequent chapters.

2.1. Satellite Subsystem:

Satellite realisation is an amalgamation of multiple disciplines of engineering and

science streams such as mechanical, electrical, electronics, computer science,

information technology etc. Typically a satellite can be broadly classified into

timelines depending upon ISAC requirement and the workload of satellites. Hence,

selected vendors will be carrying out AIT activities for which ISAC will reserve the

rights to decide on the allocation of satellite project and in which case the vendor

shall not have any objection or any Legal remedy.

• Phase-2 is defined as On-the-Job Training Phase which will be after releasing

the Work order for taking up Satellite AIT activities

• During this phase, the Vendor team would be provided with hands on

experience/on-the-job training on Satellite AIT activities by ISAC. On-the-job

training is expected to be covered in 8-10 Months depending upon the
