India's Antrix is finalising strategic alliances with Daimler-Benz and Ford Aerospace to enhance its exposure in the international aerospace and space markets, offering an "entire spectrum of space services, from satellite building to launch services". The country's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is being promoted for launches to low-Earth orbit. India has already signed a deal with the US Eosat company for the marketing of remote-sensing-satellite images from Indian IRS "SPELL OUT?" satellites, and will lease some transponders on its Insat 2E communications satellite to Intelsat.
