Amazon Web Services (AWS) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ISRO and IN-SPACe. The new pact will support space-tech innovations through cloud computing. In a statement to the news agency IANS, the e-commerce giant said that the AWS collaboration with ISRO and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) will help space startups, research institutes and students to access cloud technologies through AWS Activate for new solutions in the space sector.
