India's AayuISAT satellite, launching on January 12 as part of the ISRO PSLV-C62 mission, aims to demonstrate on-orbit refueling capabilities, potentially extending satellite lifespans and reducing space debris. If successful, India will join the ranks of the US, Russia, and China in this technology, which may also enhance military space strategies. Concurrently, Astrobase Space has made progress in rocket engine development, contributing to India's goal of increasing its share of the global space market from 2% to 10% by 2033.
