Original: Let industry run the rockets: How ISRO can focus purely on deep-space breakthroughs
A proposal in Indian policy circles argues the Indian Space Research Organisation should transfer routine launch and satellite-building work to private industry, freeing the agency to concentrate on deep-space science and exploration. The debate follows ISRO's growing commercial ecosystem and reforms opening the space sector to private players, with commentators weighing whether industry is ready to take over operational launches.
Why now: Ongoing discussion of India's space-sector reforms and the future role of private companies in launches.
