# Indian chips power Chandrayaan 3 and Aditya L1 missions 2026-08-23T16:36:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Semiconductor Laboratory Mohali has supplied indigenous chips and sensors for Chandrayaan 3 and Aditya L1, the government said. The lab's radiation hardened chips, imagers and application-specific integrated circuits are used in spacecraft where a failure could jeopardise a mission. Chandrayaan 3's lander used an Indian-made camera chip developed by SCL Mohali. The lab's Vikram processor has been deployed in satellite launch vehicles and rockets. Aditya L1, India's solar observation mission, uses radiation hardened analogue to digital converter chips from the same facility. The government described the development as part of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat programme to reduce import dependence in critical technologies. Not every spacecraft component is domestically produced, but the growing use of Indian flight grade chips marks a strategic push to localise hard-to-source technologies. ## Indian Opinion Analysis govt note. but. chips. ## Coverage - fortuneindia.com Leads with a government quote and lists SCL achievements without opposition view or independent critique, frames the story entirely as a self-reliance success This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
