Space technology start-up GalaxEye will deploy the first-ever multi-sensor Earth observation (EO) satellite 'Mission Drishti' in the first quarter of next year, initiating the establishment of a satellite constellation over the next four years.

The satellite, with a resolution of 1.5 meters, will allow governments, defense organizations, and industries to conduct advanced geospatial analysis for various applications, such as border surveillance, disaster management, defense, utility and infrastructure monitoring, agriculture, and financial and insurance evaluations - delivering real-time insights into environmental and structural conditions.

"Through Mission Drishti, we are ushering in a new age of actionable insights via space exploration. We are, for the first time globally, launching a satellite that integrates several sensing technologies on one platform, which allows us to monitor the Earth in previously unachievable ways," stated Suyash Singh, co-founder & CEO of GalaxEye.

The firm intends to deploy 8-10 satellites within the coming four years.

With a weight of 160 kg, Mission Drishti is the largest privately constructed satellite in India and the satellite with the highest resolution created in the nation.

The Drishti satellite has faced thorough assessment, including structural tests at extreme temperatures, to demonstrate its performance in the challenging environment of space, the company stated.

Every satellite is designed as a remote-sensing Earth observation system, optimized for spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions to obtain high-accuracy images.

"Given the rise in recent geopolitical incidents and advancements in next-generation imaging technologies integrated with AI, we anticipate delivering unmatched imagery intelligence," Singh remarked.
