As per PTI report, India’s space technology firm Digantara Industries has signed an agreement with Singapore’s defence research agency to jointly work on systems that help prevent satellite collisions with space debris. The agreement was announced at the Space Summit 2026 held in Singapore.
The Bengaluru-based company said this is the first time Singapore’s defence arm has entered into a formal partnership with an Indian space technology company.
The agreement has been signed with the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA). Under the arrangement, the two sides will co-develop tools related to Space Situational Awareness (SSA) to support the National Space Agency of Singapore.
SSA systems are used to track satellites and other objects in orbit and assess whether they are at risk of coming too close to debris or other spacecraft.
Digantara will provide services linked to flight dynamics and conjunction screening as part of the partnership. Conjunction screening identifies instances where a satellite’s orbit brings it close to another object in space.
When such close approaches are detected, alerts are generated so satellite operators can assess the situation and decide whether any action is required to avoid a collision.
The tools developed under the agreement will be deployed within Singapore’s own systems. This allows Singapore authorities to run and manage the solutions locally for their space monitoring and satellite operations.
The arrangement enables the use of the tools for routine tracking as well as for monitoring specific risk events involving satellites and debris.
The agreement also includes the use of Digantara’s sensor data combined with AI-based analytics. Singapore is exploring space-based SSA capabilities and is expected to take part in the assembly, integration and testing of one of Digantara’s upcoming space-based sensors.
The sensor is expected to contribute data for satellite and debris tracking as part of Singapore’s space monitoring plans.
Digantara said the engagement with Singapore could help it access other markets in the Asia-Pacific region, including South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand, where satellite monitoring needs are increasing.
