GalaxEye develops drone-based SAR
City-based space sector start-up GalaxEye Space Solutions Pvt Ltd claimed it has developed a drone-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR). According to GalaxEye, the in-house developed data fusion technology will deliver unprecedented insights and data from space, empowering satellite constellations to conduct all-weather imaging, unlike the current single-sensor satellites. “When we founded GalaxEye in 2021, our goal was to build a Tech Demonstrator prior to embarking on satellite launch. This achievement stands as a testament to the tech prowess of our team and a demonstration of our commitment to our Drishti Mission. Furthermore, it holds the potential to solve and address a multitude of commercial and strategic use cases/applications'', said Suyash Singh, Co-founder & CEO of GalaxEye Space.
The company said it is working on deploying a satellite constellation with a first-of-its-kind sensor based on data fusion to provide the most comprehensive imagery dataset from space. The unique Data-as-a-Service model helps businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. GalaxEye is on its way to building India's first and the World's highest-resolution multi-sensor imaging satellite.
According to the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), GalaxEye’s first satellite, Dhrishti is expected to be launched in the last quarter of 2023. GalaxEye plans a high-resolution payload microsatellite constellation comprising optical and SAR payloads enabling data fusion using Drishti Sensors targeting environmental, Illegal Vessel Monitoring, insurance applications, and others, IN-SPACe said in a consultation paper on the status and opportunities in the Indian earth observation satellite segment. The company claims to be the first Indian earth observation satellite company.
