PixxelSpace-led consortium to make country's first commercial earth observation constellation
A private consortium of four space start-ups led by Bengaluru-based PixxelSpace has won a bid to build and run the country's fully-indigenous commercial earth observation satellite constellation, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) said Tuesday. According to the agreement, the consortium will invest Rs 1,200 crore over next five years to set up the 12-satellite constellation. It will own, manufacture, launch, develop ground infrastructure, operate the satellite constellation as well as commercialise the data generated. 'By generating high-resolution, indigenous satellite data, the initiative will significantly reduce India's reliance on foreign sources, ensure data sovereignty, and position the country among the global leaders,' said IN-SPACe. The bid for partnership with the government — which will provide technical and policy support — was won by the consortium of PixxelSpace, Piersight Space, Satsure Analytics India, and Dhruva Space, at the financial stage. At least two other consortiums, led by Astra Microwave Products and GalaxEye Space, had also been shortlisted after a technical evaluation. The satellites will be equipped with panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral, and microwave SAR sensors — which can produce images of the Earth in varying degrees of detail. The data would be used in the fields of agriculture, infrastructure development and urban planning, disaster management, security, as well as climate change monitoring. '(This) demonstrates the capability and confidence of Indian companies to lead large-scale, technologically advanced, and commercially viable space missions that serve both national and global markets,' said Dr Pawan Goenka, IN-SPACe Chairman. The constellation will be deployed in a phased manner over four years to ensure continuous service upgrades and expanded coverage. Once the constellation becomes operational, it will be among the most advanced earth observation systems in the world. 'We are grateful to IN-SPACe and the Government of India for trusting our consortium with this historic mission. Together with our partners Satsure, Dhruva and PierSight, we look forward to building world-class space-tech capabilities that serve the whole planet from Indian soil. This is India's moment to lead the world in space-powered solutions,' said Awais Ahmed, CEO of PixxelSpace.

Cenovus Said to Be in Talks With Indigenous Groups for MEG Bid
(Bloomberg) -- Cenovus Energy Inc. is in talks with Indigenous groups in Canada to jointly buy MEG Energy Corp., an oil sands producer that faces an unsolicited $4 billion takeover bid from a Canadian oil tycoon. A group of First Nations and Metis communities including Chipewyan Prairie First Nation and Heart Lake First Nation are in talks with Cenovus about taking a C$2 billion ($1.45 billion) stake in MEG, according to people familiar with the discussions. The Indigenous stake would be backed by financial support from the federal and provincial governments, while Cenovus would bid for the rest, the people said. A joint offer for MEG could be made as early as September, though talks may fall apart. Emails and calls to Cenovus weren't returned, nor were calls to First Nations groups involved. MEG didn't immediately respond. Natural Resources Canada declined to comment in an email. The Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corp., which helps finance investments, didn't respond to an email seeking comment. The deal, if successful, would mark the first large, direct Indigenous stake purchase in an oil sands producer. It would also unite two Calgary-based companies with significant operations in the oil-rich region of northeastern Alberta. MEG's Christina Lake project includes 200 square kilometres (77 square miles) of leases in the area, and the company has regulatory approvals to produce around 210,000 barrels a day. MEG was put into play in May when Strathcona Resources Ltd. made an unsolicited cash-and-stock bid that valued MEG at about C$6 billion. Strathcona, controlled by former investment banker Adam Waterous, made the bid after taking a 9.2% stake in the company. MEG's board advised shareholders to reject Strathcona's bid, calling it inadequate. The board also started a strategic review that may include finding other offers. MEG traded at C$25.85 a share at 11:45 a.m. in Toronto on Tuesday. That's above the C$23.27 offer from Strathcona, signalling investors are expecting a higher bid. Alberta's First Nations have increasingly sought ownership of large energy-related infrastructure projects such as pipelines and tank storage farms to earn revenue. Canadian energy companies have been partnering more frequently with the communities whose land is affected by their projects in a bid to head off potential environmental and legal opposition. Cenovus, the third-largest Canadian crude producer by market value, has operations in the Christina Lake region near the MEG site. The company produced the equivalent of about 800,000 barrels a day last year — mostly bitumen, along with natural gas liquids and some conventional oil and natural gas. The Financial Post reported last month that Cenovus is preparing a bid. More stories like this are available on
