The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is working out a plan to set up a consortium of public and private sector companies for end-to-end building of its trusted work-horse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
Since ISRO is trying to increase the number of launches, a consortium approach may be more appropriate for PSLV, ISRO Chairman AS Kiran Kumar told media persons on the sidelines of a conference of project managers in New Delhi.
Having PSLV build outside the system will help the space agency to increase the frequency of launches, he said. It will also free the organisation to take up other urgent works.
