According to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between HEX20 and OrbitAid, the two companies will collaborate to demonstrate technologies for in-orbit refuelling of satellites.

The MoU between HEX20 and TakeMe2Space will allow the Australian firm to use the Indian startup's AI modules and subsystems in their flatsat.

TakeMe2Space will give access to HEX20 to its OrbitLab platform for researchers and students to test and run their models on an actual satellite in real-time.

"These MoUs represent a significant step towards strengthening ties between our two nations in the space sector," said Dr Vinod Kumar, Director Promotion, IN-SPACe.
