Starlink, Project Kuiper requests for landing rights under process: IN-SPACe chairman

Kolkata: The Indian National Space Promotion & Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) is processing the applications of Elon Musk’s Starlink and Amazon-owned Project Kuiper seeking landing rights clearances for the satellite communication companies, said the regulator’s chairman, Pawan Goenka.

Both companies have yet to get permits to provide satcom services in India — their applications are pending before the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) — but Goenka said this would not delay the grant of landing rights to them by the space sector regulator.
