Dhruva Space provides a full‑stack space engineering portfolio that includes modular satellite buses (0.5U to 500 kg), launch integration services, and a global ground‑station‑as‑a‑service network with S‑, X‑ and Ka‑band antennas. Customers can purchase an end‑to‑end solution or individual components, enabling faster, lower‑cost access to low‑Earth orbit and beyond for commercial, defense, research, and academic missions.

Problem
Accessing space for commercial, scientific, or defense missions often requires coordinating multiple separate vendors for satellite platforms, launch integration, and ground station services, leading to high costs, long lead times, and integration risk.
Solution
Dhruva Space delivers a full‑stack space engineering portfolio that combines modular satellite buses (from 0.5U CubeSats up to 500 kg microsatellites), indigenously developed orbital deployers, and a global network of ground stations. Customers can select a complete end‑to‑end solution—satellite platform, launch vehicle integration (including non‑pyrotechnic deployment mechanisms), and telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) services—or procure individual components to fit existing programs. The company’s platforms are TRL 9, LEO‑optimised, and support multi‑payload configurations, while its ground‑station‑as‑a‑service (GSaaS) offers S‑, X‑, and Ka‑band antennas with 0.1° pointing accuracy and automated scheduling. This integrated approach reduces procurement complexity, shortens development cycles, and provides reliable, scalable access to low‑Earth orbit and beyond.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial satellite operators, defense and research agencies, and university or startup teams seeking turnkey or component‑level solutions for LEO, MEO, GEO, or interplanetary missions.
