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.
