Through scientific research, technology innovation, international collaboration and the development of emerging researchers, we work towards advancing the next generation of aerospace exploration.”
01
Vision
A future in which humanity’s capabilities extend beyond Low Earth Orbit towards the Moon, Mars and beyond, achieved through international scientific and engineering cooperation sustained over decades.
02
Mission
“To develop the knowledge, technologies, research capabilities and global collaborations required to expand humanity’s presence beyond Earth.”
03
Institutional objectives
- Conduct independent scientific research.
- Develop technologies for planetary and interplanetary exploration.
- Build intellectual property through patents, technical documentation and research proposals.
- Collaborate internationally with universities, institutions, industry and researchers.
- Develop emerging researchers through mentorship and structured programmes.
04
Research philosophy
- Research and technology come first; programmes are ways to participate in the research ecosystem.

Why it matters
Why Planetary and Interplanetary Exploration Matters for India
Five reasons a sustained national capability in planetary and interplanetary research is worth building.
01
Scientific advancement
Planetary formation, geology, atmospheres, habitability and the origins of life.
02
Technology development
Propulsion, autonomous navigation, robotics, radiation protection, materials, energy, life support and AI.
03
Economic opportunities
Advanced manufacturing, materials, communications, robotics and energy.
04
Strategic independence
Domestic research capability and intellectual property instead of imported technology.
05
Humanity’s long-term future
Sustained infrastructure on the Moon and Mars requires decades of international cooperation.
International cooperation
Why International Cooperation Is Essential
Interplanetary exploration is too complex and expensive for any single country or institution to accomplish independently.
Acceleron’s role in that cooperation
| Participant | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Indian universities | Contribute engineering students and research capabilities. |
| International researchers | Contribute specialised knowledge and mentorship. |
| Space companies | Contribute industrial experience. |
| Research organisations | Contribute scientific data and facilities. |
| Acceleron | Coordinates multidisciplinary research projects and produces documented technical outputs. |
Organisation
A Lean, Accountable Structure
Some roles may be part-time or vacant at launch; each recurring responsibility has a defined role.
| Role | Responsibility | Role holder |
|---|---|---|
| Founder & CEO | Strategy, partnerships, fundraising and major decisions. | Malaya Kumar Biswal M |
| Research Director / Research Coordinator | Research groups, mentors and quality control. | To be announced |
| Operations Manager / Programme Coordinator | Internships, deadlines and administration. | To be announced |
| Business Development | Sales, partnerships and institutional clients. | To be announced |
| Technology Lead | Research Hub, automation and IT. | To be announced |
| Education / Programmes Coordinator | Courses, webinars and student engagement. | To be announced |
Acceleron is structured so that recurring responsibilities have named owners: it is an institution, not a founder-dependent startup.
