GalaxEye partners with IN-SPACe to access ISRO's facilities, advancing India's private space sector with cutting-edge Earth observation satellites overcoming cloud cover limitations.

GalaxEye, an Indian space technology startup, has achieved a significant milestone by partnering with the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe). This partnership allows GalaxEye access to advanced laboratories and testing facilities operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), marking a groundbreaking collaboration between the private sector and India's space agency.

GalaxEye's focus is on developing Earth observation satellites, which are satellites used to gather information about our planet from space. They are the first private company to benefit from IN-SPACe's new coworking and testing facilities in Ahmedabad, indicating a promising future for India's private space industry.

In 2023, GalaxEye gained attention for creating India's first drone equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), a technology used to produce high-resolution images. Now, they are working towards launching India's first privately-owned constellation of Earth observation satellites.

Their flagship project, the "Drishti Mission" satellite, is set to launch within the next year. This satellite will be India's first and the world's highest-resolution multi-sensor imaging satellite. What sets GalaxEye apart is their innovative "Drishti Sensor" technology, which allows their satellites to capture high-quality images even in cloudy weather conditions, overcoming a common challenge in Earth observation.

The applications of GalaxEye's technology are diverse, particularly in sectors like security and defense. Their satellites provide detailed imagery that can be used for mission planning, border surveillance, and disaster response, offering valuable situational awareness regardless of weather conditions.

Suyash Singh, Co-founder and CEO of GalaxEye, expressed excitement about the partnership with IN-SPACe, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the field of space exploration. This collaboration not only benefits GalaxEye but also signifies India's commitment to fostering technological innovation in the private space sector, positioning the country as a significant player in the global space technology landscape.
