India and Brazil Explore Joint Satellite Launch Vehicle

Skyroot Aerospace and Concert Technologies, a member of Brazil's Micro Launcher Program consortium, signed a memorandum of understanding in October. The agreement explores the joint creation of a satellite launch vehicle designed to carry payloads of at least 100 kg into low Earth orbit. This partnership is part of expanding space cooperation between India and Brazil.

The proposed vehicle aims to bridge the capacity gap between Brazil's Micro Launcher Program, which carries payloads up to 40 kg, and the larger rocket family developed by Skyroot Aerospace. This collaboration signals a move toward developing a more capable launch system for the region.
