AXISCADES Technologies Ltd, a leading Indian technology provider in defense, aerospace, and space software, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aldoria, a European expert in Space Surveillance and Situational Awareness (SSA). This partnership supports a shared goal to enhance India’s growing space capabilities.
The announcement was made at the 2025 Paris Air Show, Le Bourget, marking an important step in international cooperation to strengthen India’s capacity to track, manage, and protect its space assets amid increasing global activity in orbit.
Under this agreement, the two companies will explore opportunities to align data and systems, delivering advanced SSA solutions that support India’s space safety, security, and sovereignty. The partnership also aims to share specific insights and technical expertise to meet the evolving needs of India’s space sector. Prior discussions with ISRO and ISTRAC over the past five months helped shape this collaboration.
AXISCADES and Aldoria will also investigate developing integrated software and system concepts to improve situational awareness, focusing on scalable, comprehensive solutions. This cooperation reflects a forward-thinking approach to providing India with the tools necessary for monitoring orbital traffic and preventing collisions.
Dr Sampath Ravinarayanan, Chairman of AXISCADES Technologies Ltd, said, “India’s expanding network of space assets requires strong, homegrown SSA systems. Our partnership with Aldoria represents a key step in advancing India’s space ambitions with world-class technology. We aim to foster a secure and sustainable space environment by combining our engineering strengths with Aldoria’s expertise in space surveillance. Strategic space capabilities are vital for national security and future space exploration, and this alliance supports those objectives.”
Romain Lucken, CEO of Aldoria, added, “This agreement aligns with Aldoria’s mission to make SSA data accessible globally. By pairing our precision telescope technology with AXISCADES’ software capabilities, we are well-positioned to deliver detailed solutions tailored to India’s strategic needs.”
