Assam is set to launch ASSAMSAT, its own satellite, in collaboration with IN-SPACe and ISRO, as announced in the state budget for 2025-26.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that Assam will be the first state in India to have its own satellite.
The satellite will provide continuous data for socio-economic projects, agriculture, disaster management, and border security.
It will also help detect illegal border crossings, predict floods, and improve weather forecasts for farmers.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity to build experimental satellites with support from IN-SPACe and ISRO.
The decision follows delays in obtaining data for the Umrangso coal mine accident, emphasising the need for Assam’s independent surveillance system.
