• To establish a Tracking, Data Reception
Station and Data Processing Facility
• Training in Space Technology & Applications
• Framework Agreement in Sep 2016 & ISRO-
MONRE IA under discussion
Regional Cooperation - India-ASEAN space cooperation
• Remote Sensing data to the ASEAN countries - FREE OF
ACCESS FEE. Assured continuity of data from
RESOURCESAT & OCEANSAT series.
• Sharing of ISRO’s techniques in satellite data processing for
suite of applications
• Capacity building of the ASEAN personnel in Remote sensing,
Satellite Meteorology, Satellite communication, Atmospheric
Science and customized training modules.
India would provide
data of ~ 1 M USD /
year to ASEAN free
of charge.
SAARC STORM (Severe Thunderstorms : Observations and Regional Modeling) Project
• The project aims for improved short range forecasting and monitoring of severe
thunderstorm over India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.
• SAARC Meteorological Research Centre (SMRC), Dhaka is the coordinating
agency for this regional initiative under SAARC.
Commitment of ISRO is to set up
- 24 AWS and 1 GPS Radiosonde station in Bangladesh
- 16 AWS, 2 GPS Radiosonde and 1 Doppler Weather Radar in Nepal
- 10 AWS and 1 GPS Radiosonde in Bhutan
50 AWS
4 GPS Sonde stations
1 DWR
• 10 AWS and one Radio Sonde Station set up
in Bhutan.
• 1 AWS installed in Bangladesh.
• 16 AWS and 2 ground station elements of
Sonde station delivered at Nepal.
