An IIT-Madras-incubated space-tech startup,GalaxEye, is building the world’s firstmulti-sensor earth observation satellitewith the help of a visiblespectrum cameraproviding synchronised imaging that can take multiple images at the same time. The startup is going to launch its first satellite, ‘Drishti Mission’ next year.
The data fusion technology developed in-house will bring unparalleled insights and data from space, enabling satellite constellations to perform all-weather imaging at all times without atmospheric interference typical of today’s single-sensor satellites. The technology will enable the production of images with extremely high resolution via a small satellite constellation that, once fully operational, will provide global coverage in under 12 hours.
