GalaxEye Preps for Mission Drishti
GalaxEye is a space startup that is getting ready to launch a special satellite called Mission Drishti.
This satellite is unique because it can take pictures of the Earth using both optical and radar sensors.
This means it can see through clouds and work in all kinds of weather.
GalaxEye plans to launch this satellite in the first few months of this year and then add more satellites over the next few years, with a goal of having 10 satellites by 2030.
These satellites will help in many areas like defence, farming, and monitoring disasters.
The technology used is called SyncFused OptoSAR, which combines data from both sensors to create better images.
This will help provide important information that can be used in many different ways.
GalaxEye is launching Mission Drishti, a multi-sensory earth observation satellite, in the first quarter of 2024.
The satellite integrates radar sensing and optical imaging, making it India's largest privately developed satellite.
GalaxEye plans to scale up to a constellation of 10 satellites by 2030.
The technology, SyncFused OptoSAR, enables all-weather observation of the Earth.
Applications include defence, agriculture, disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and climate intelligence.
