Building Cities in Space. We are changing the way satellites are treated in space. Out with treating them as untouchables. In with reliable servicing and active deorbiting at the end of mission.

2030 - INSPECITY BUILDS INDIA'S FIRST ORBITAL HABITAT! Well, that's what we are going to do.
- The demand for such services is expected to grow to several billions of dollars over the next decade. Next, they want to work with a partner satellite operator to test if their module can approach it, rendezvous with it, and perform some proximity operations.
- To begin with, “we are not going to do any kind of docking or robotic applications. We are just going to get close, go around, observe, and measure parameters like distance, attitude, the rate of change of attitude and so on”, Chowdhury says.
