Nibe Space will build the satellites. 40 such satellites will be launched. All these satellites will take high-resolution images of the earth. These will be used strategically.

This deal is important for both the companies because Skyroot has expertise in launch vehicles. That is, it is an expert in rockets. While Nibe Space is an expert in making satellites. The deal between Skyroot and Nibe Space will give a boost to the Indian space sector. Governments, companies and groups from all over the world will deal with Indian private space companies.
