1. INTRODUCTION




1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 ISRO Satellite Centre

ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC) is one of the lead Centres of the Indian Space

Research Organisation (ISRO) responsible for design, development,

assembly & integration of satellites for various applications.

ISAC main campus is spread across a 32 acre campus at Old Airport Road,

Vimanapura in Bengaluru. To cater to the growing demand for satellite

applications, ISRO Satellite Integration & Testing Establishment (ISITE), a 110

acre campus which is about 8 km away from the main campus was also

established. ISAC/ISITE house state-of-the-art design, fabrication, and test

facilities and large cleanrooms for the assembly, integration and testing of

various types of satellites. Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS),

situated at Peenya Industrial Estate, Bangalore is engaged in design,

development and production of Electro-Optic sensors and camera optics for

satellites and launch vehicles.

The ISAC main campus and ISITE campus are hereinafter collectively

referred to as ‘ISAC’.

The specialised teams of scientists, engineers and technicians at ISAC have

built more than 80 complex and advanced satellites for various applications in

areas of telecommunications, television broadcasting, VSAT services, tele-

medicine, tele-education, navigation, weather forecasting, disaster warning,

search & rescue operations, earth observations, natural resource

management, space science and interplanetary missions

Programme at ISAC is categorized into:

etc. The Satellite

Geo-Stationary Satellite Programme

Satellite Navigation Programme




Earth Observation Programme

Microwave and Remote Sensing Programme

Space Science and Planetary exploration Programme

Small Satellite Programme

Based on the mass and power generation, communication satellites are

classified into mainly four major bus platform:

I-1K Bus Satellite – 1 to 1.5 ton class satellite



I-4/6K Bus Satellite – 4 to 6.5 ton class satellite

Likewise, the remote sensing and small satellite are classified into IRS Bus

Satellite, IMS-1 Bus and IMS-2 bus depending upon the mass and

configuration of the satellite

ISAC is presently engaged in the challenging task of building future

generation advanced communication, remote sensing,navigation and

space science satellites. ISAC has set the target of building about 10-12

satellites per year to cater to the growing demand for satellite based

applications. In order to meet this huge demand, ISAC is striving for

increasing collaboration and contribution from Indian

satellites. Presently, vendors are involved in various

vendor to build

satellite building

activities such as electronic and mechanical subsystem parts

manufacturing, subsystem fabrication and testing, etc. There is a huge

opportunity for vendor to contribute in the field of space by building

satellites and the scope of vendor participation is bound to increase, both

in terms of volume and complexity. Vendor participation on




a large scale is required not only to meet goals of ISAC but also for self-

reliance resulting in higher throughput.

After successfully completing the vendor’s participation in subsystem level

fabrication and testing, ISAC is seeking to extend the scope of vendor

participation to spacecraft level assembly, integration and testing activities.

On successful completion of these tests, the spacecraft will be shipped to

the launch base for launch. The vendors which are interested in

collaborating with ISAC to assemble integrate and test satellites as per

ISAC’s procedures and guidelines shall express their interest for the same.

The details of ISAC’s requirements from vendors are

subsequent chapters.

8. GENERALINSTRUCTION FOR

SUBMISSION OFPROPOSAL

EoI




8. GENERAL INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMISSION OF EoI PROPOSAL

Vendor participation is going to be a major steering factor in order to aid ISAC/ISRO in

meeting the objective of building 10-12 satellites per year. Presently many public and

private companies are directly or indirectly involved in satellite building activities. The

demand for space application is growing manifold across the globe and ISRO/ISAC is

keen to provide vendors opportunities to expand their contribution in satellite realization

activities. With this backdrop, it is now proposed to carry out satellites AIT activities

through an external vendor. In order to achieve this target, one major capable vendor

will be selected to build satellites.

8.1 Steps for selecting the potential vendor:

The following flowchart depicts the steps for selecting the potential vendor. The

process begins with the call for Expression of Interest (EoI). The interested

vendors shall submit the EoI proposal clearly indicating the details required in

chapter 9 Response format with supporting documents. A Pre-EoI

Conference with interested vendors would be conducted at ISAC campus before

the submission of EoI. The purpose of the conference is to provide vendors an

opportunity to seek clarifications regarding any aspect of the EoI. The vendors

finally responding to the EoI shall be shortlisted based on their compliance with

the EoI requirement. Subsequently a pre-bid meeting between ISAC and the

shortlisted vendors will be held at ISAC wherein detailed presentations on the

scope of work, roles and responsibilities and modalities of engagement will be




made. A visit to vendor’s campus may be conducted for assessment of the

capabilities stated in the EoI. The vendors shortlisted (based on EoI and

assessment of their potential to carry out the proposed work) would be issued

Request for Proposal, inviting their technical and commercial bids at a later date.

Subsequently, based on the response to RFP, a potential vendor will be selected

and order will be awarded.
