This is where the BAS goona play key role. Biotech research in space
Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science and Technology and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space (DoS) signs Framework Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Space Biotechnology

Dr. S. Somanath, Secretary DOS and Chairman, ISRO emphasised that the national human space flight endeavor, Gaganyaan aims to enhance nation’s capacity in the field of science and technology. A national space based platform such as the Bharatiya Antariksh Station will enable the utilisation of the niche space environment to undertake cutting edge microgravity research and technology development based on our national priorities. He remarked that through this collaboration, a dedicated Biotechnology Experiment and Technology Demonstration Rack will be operationalised in the upcoming Bhartiya Antariksh Station in future.

They are supposed to launch another irnss satellite( NVS-02) soon, not long ago, they said before end of the year. But no further notice. I do remember people saying that 4 such satellites are good enough to make the system work, though of course it won't be as extensive as with 7 or 8 functioning satellites.

NAVIC 2nd gen satellites, already 1 was launched, 2nd one should follow soon

I already posted many time gaganyaan project is shifting focus many useful tech it has happened before in case of SAR sats before wakeup to fact they didn't have a working SAR sats so they collaborate with novasar to fill gap and then resumed risat program

If it comes to fruition, this would be a big game changer, especially for payload capacities.

What engine stack will they be using, and what diameter is the stage going to be?

With PROBA-3 scheduled for launch in same month, there is very high likelihood of postponement of SPADEX to early 2025.

SPADEX might slip to January, but I don't think TDS will happen in dec, it will also be slipped to 2nd quarter of 2025

Darn, they were emphatic about a Spadex launch by Dec 15th. Let's see, maybe by year end!

US startup Axiom Space explores using Indian rockets for space mission​

NEW DELHI, Nov 5 (Reuters) - U.S.-based startup Axiom Space is exploring using Indian launch vehicles to support its international space station mission, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

Axiom Space is one of the few companies constructing a private space station, intended to eventually replace the International Space Station (ISS), which the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects to retire around 2030.

Pearly Pandya, director of Axiom's international government business, said that while contracts had not been signed yet, the startup was in talks with India's space agency, ISRO, and India's private launch companies to explore the best fit for its missions and to diversify its supply chain.

"It could be to transport raw materials as we develop our space station," Pandya said, speaking at an industry event.

Careful. Axiom is dead broke and may stiff Indians for the money.
