GalaxEye announces development of second satellite for sharper images
GalaxEye, the Bengaluru-based space-tech startup known for Syncfusion SAR-Optical imaging satellite technology, has unveiled plans for its second satellite, signalling a major leap in India's private space new satellite, engineered for near 0.5-metre resolution, is set to deliver sharper, faster geospatial insights—especially for defence, disaster response, and urban security announcement comes as GalaxEye prepares to launch its first satellite, Mission Drishti, later this Drishti, with its 1.25-metre resolution, will demonstrate the world's first fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multispectral optical sensors in orbit—technology validated through over 500 drone flights and the successful GLX-SQ payload mission aboard ISRO's POEM-4 platform in December SyncFusion Imaging System, tested in the harsh conditions of the South Atlantic Anomaly, proved resilient and capable of delivering rapid, all-weather, high-resolution second satellite will further push the envelope by reducing revisit times to under three days and enhancing spatial resolution, making the constellation more responsive for mission-critical this satellite will be entirely built in-house, underscoring GalaxEye's growing manufacturing and systems integration prowess. The company is also planning to scale up its facilities to meet increasing global Singh, Founder & CEO, emphasised, 'Building on the experience from our first satellite and the evolving needs of our defence customers, we're thrilled to take the next big step in scaling our constellation and deepening our mission impact.'advertisementSingh highlighted that the sensor stack and proprietary signal processing toolchain, already proven in space and aerial tests, will underpin this new innovations arrive at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions, as nations seek more reliable, persistent satellite data. The second satellite, targeting a launch in late 2026 or early 2027, will support not only defence but also adjacent sectors like maritime awareness and risk its sights set on international markets including the US, West Asia, and Europe, GalaxEye is set to become a key player in the next generation of Earth observation.

The 'Google incident' that has left Samsung 'shocked'
Google 's decision to move production of its Tensor G5 processor from Samsung to TSMC for the upcoming Pixel 10 series has reportedly sent shockwaves through Samsung's executive ranks, prompting an internal investigation into the foundry division's mounting problems. The switch came as a "shock" to Samsung leadership last month, according to Korean publication The Bell, with the company now "intensively analyzing" what industry insiders are calling "the Google incident ." Samsung's Device Solutions division has launched emergency strategy meetings to examine how it lost one of its last major foundry customers. Wake-up call exposes Samsung's foundry struggles "Losing Google is a case that shows the complex problems of Samsung Foundry at once," an industry source told The Bell. "There are many discussions and concerns going on internally as well." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stuttgart: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo The loss represents more than just a significant contract for Samsung—it highlights the foundry's declining competitiveness against Taiwan's TSMC. Google had relied on Samsung to manufacture its custom Tensor chips since 2021, starting with the Pixel 6 series, but persistent yield issues and design limitations drove the search giant to seek alternatives. Samsung's 3nm process reportedly achieves only 50% yield rates, far below TSMC's 90% efficiency. The Korean company also lacks the semiconductor design assets that Google's "diversifying" performance requirements demand, according to the report. Pattern of customer defections continues for Samsung's foundry business Google joins a growing list of major clients abandoning Samsung's foundries for TSMC's superior manufacturing capabilities. Apple made the switch years ago, while Qualcomm now reserves Samsung only for lower-tier processors, moving flagship Snapdragon production to TSMC. The timing compounds Samsung's challenges as it struggles with its next-generation 2nm process development. The company is reportedly having difficulty proceeding as planned with the advanced node, which is crucial for its upcoming Exynos 2600 processor expected in the Galaxy S26 series. Google's five-year commitment to TSMC covers Tensor chips through the Pixel 14, effectively shutting Samsung out of smartphone processor manufacturing for one of Android's most prominent players until at least 2029.
