印度拥有超过350家私营太空公司，全球排名第五

NEW DELHI: Amid all the pandemic gloom, good news emerging from India’s space tech sector is that the number of private firms — more than 350 — is already more than Japan, China and Russia, putting India in fifth place globally. Of the 10,000-odd firms analysed as part of a global report that projects the space tech economy to touch $500 billion by 2025, over 5,500 are in the US, followed by the UK, Canada and Germany. The report lists 368 firms in India compared to 288, 269 and 206 in China, France and Spain, respectively. Japan and Russia have 184 and 56, respectively.

新德里：在疫情的阴霾中，印度空间技术领域传来好消息，私营公司的数量超过350家，已经超过日本、中国和俄罗斯，跻身全球第五。一份全球报告预测，到2025年，太空技术经济规模将达到5000亿美元。在分析的1万多家公司中，超过5500家在美国，数量排名其次是英国、加拿大和德国。该报告列出印度公司的数量是368家，而中国、法国和西班牙的数量分别为288家、269家和206家。日本和俄罗斯分别有184和56。

Isro chairman K Sivan said: “There has been a good response from the industry, both big and small. The number of proposals with IN-SPACe has also gone up by around 30% compared to the end of 2020.” As per the report by Spacetech Analytics titled ‘SpaceTech Industry 2021/Q2 Landscape Overview’, most companies globally (2,820) are in navigation and map, followed by 1,000 manufacturing firms, 718 doing space communication, remote sensing (211), aerial imaging (152), spacecraft development (80), space travel (58), and space medicine (48).

印度空间研究组织主席K Sivan说:“业界的反应很好，与2020年底相比，加入IN-SPACe的提案数量也增加了约30%。”根据Spacetech Analytics发布的题为《2021年/第二季度空间技术产业景观概述》的报告，全球大多数公司(2820家)从事导航和测绘，其次是制造公司（1000家），空间通信（718家）、遥感(211家)、航空成像(152家)、航天器开发(80家)、空间旅行(58家)和空间医学(48家)。

Jayakumar Venkatesan, CEO, Valles Marineris International, which helps train global astronauts through its partners in Russia, says: “The model Isro is following must change to that in the US. We can’t have a vendor-customer relationship model if we want industry to grow, it must be partnership based.”

Valles Marineris International通过其在俄罗斯的合作伙伴帮助培训全球宇航员，该公司首席执行官Jayakumar Venkatesan表示:“Isro遵循的模式必须向美国模式转变。如果我们想让行业发展，就不能采用供应商-客户关系模式，必须建立在合作关系的基础上。”

The report, which projects the space tech economy to touch $10 trillion by 2030 from the current $380 billion, has also analysed investments made in such companies during the said quarter. It has reviewed 10,000 firms, 5,000 investors, 150 R&D hubs and associations, and 130 government organisations across the world.

该报告还分析了上述季度对这类公司的投资。该报告预计，到2030年，太空技术经济规模将从目前的3800亿美元增至10万亿美元。该报告审查了世界各地的10000家公司、5000名投资者、150个研发中心和协会，以及130家政府组织。

Total early-stage investments in space technologies in 2021 are $68 billion. “With a total of $28 billion invested in 3,086 companies, the US is an undisputed leader. This is six times the amount invested in companies in China — the second largest country in terms of space tech investment ($4.8 billion invested in 122 companies),” the report says. China is followed by the UK, where funding is mostly raised from public sources and IPOs. India is in fourth place with investments in about 110 firms, totalling not more than $2 billion.

2021年，太空技术的早期投资总额为680亿美元。“美国在3086家公司中总共投资了280亿美元，是无可争议的领导者。这是中国对其公司的投资的6倍。中国是世界第二大空间技术投资国家(对122家公司的投资为48亿美元)。”紧随中国之后的是英国，其融资主要来自公开渠道和IPO。印度排名第四，投资了110家左右的公司，总投资不超过20亿美元。

“One of the main aims of opening up the space sector was to enhance India’s share in the global space tech economy from around 3% to more than 10% in the next few years,” Sivan said.

“开放太空领域的主要目标之一是在未来几年将印度在全球太空技术经济中的份额从3%左右提高到10%以上，”Sivan说。

Jagdish Madan

Way to go! India has already broken the surface and is all set to make its rightful place in every field! Proud of ISRO and other private space companies!

加油！印度已经崭露头角，准备在各个领域取得应有的地位!

为ISRO和其他私营太空公司感到骄傲!

sanjit ghosh

This is good but when India will launch next rocket? Other space agencies are launching rocket frequently inspite of Covid-19 issues but ISRO has launched only few rocket in last 1 year.

这是好事，但印度什么时候发射下一枚火箭?

尽管疫情持续，其他航天机构仍频繁发射火箭，印度空间研究组织在过去一年里只发射了几枚火箭。

R Venkatesh Govind

Absolutely right! Modi sir should launch more rockets, they cost only Rs 400 crores or so, instead of his posh Rs 8500 crore Boeing 777s, which have "limited" use.

莫迪应该多发射火箭，只需要40亿卢比左右，莫迪买一架豪华波音777都花了850亿卢比，用途还“有限”。

Ashis Biswas

What is the relevance of this news . What has India achieved on ground to be in 5 th place. Super power India is now begging vaccines from small nations . Let us stop things like chest thum and glorifying the past and do work now instead to get back its place among nations.

这条新闻有什么意义?

印度排在第五位，算什么成就。超级大国印度现在向小国乞求疫苗。我们要停止夸夸其谈，别吹嘘过去，现在开始努力，恢复过去的国际地位。

Deepak

ISRO has been performing ever since it's inception. Now India has come down so much is because of total mismanagement by Modi in every front.

ISRO成立以来就表现不错。现在印度之所以如此落魄，是因为莫迪在各个方面的管理不善。

Indi space

Indians are boasting, bragging and self-praising for NOTHING again. Why not try to land on the Moon SOFT, not Indian style HARD, first?

印度人又在吹嘘、自我表扬了，毫无意义。为什么不试着先在月球上软着陆，而不是印度式的硬着陆?

Kalmokta Banchanbali

Very good question

问得好

Deepak

Remember ISRO is the only government owned enterprise that is giving stellar performance! So don't talk about them lightly

记住，ISRO是唯一一个表现出色的国有企业!

不要小看他们

Indi space

Stellar performance? Withe India's Vikram crashed to pieces and Shivan crying on Modi's shoudler? What a stellar performance

表现出色?印度的维克拉姆号坠毁了，

Sivan靠在莫迪的肩膀上哭泣?

多棒的表演啊

Bks

ISRO: Plz study how USA and China used parachute for the soft landing of lander in Mars? Why ISRO has not used that in moon lander which failed?

ISRO：请研究一下美国和中国是如何利用降落伞在火星上着陆的?

为什么印度空间研究组织没有在月球着陆器上使用呢?

Anthony

Just registering the company does not make it space companies

仅仅注册并不意味着它就是太空公司了

Sahil Arora

that's great

太棒了

Need More Land

Bharat is Building!

印度在发展！

Agnelo Dsa

bharat is back to the stone age, thanks to modi.

多亏了莫迪，印度回到了石器时代。

Kalmokta Banchanbali

Purely and Bluntly HAVING STUPID SPACE COMPANIES IS NOT ENOUGH. What did they achieve ?

坦率地说，只有太空公司是不够的。他们取得了什么成就?

Bala Srinivasan

INDIA's brain power which decides our "SPACE TECH"capability is well recognised&well rewarded overseas mainly in USA,CANADA where the INDIANS are targetting their next move.

人才决定了“太空技术”能力，印度人才在海外得到了认可和回报，主要是在美国和加拿大，印度人都想去这些地方。

Girish

Very good news for our young generation into the future !!!

这对我们年轻一代来说是个好消息!

Newton Issac

space economy increases from 380 billion to 10 trillion from now to 2030. Can India do something realistic rather than saying big words?

空间经济规模将从现在的3800亿增长到2030年的10万亿。印度能不夸夸其谈，做一些实事吗?

Sanjoy Pandey

It is heartening to see India emerging in many spheres during the recent times.

令人鼓舞的是，最近印度在许多领域都崛起了。
