Infosys-backed GalaxEye plans new satellite to meet global demand for geospatial data
ETtech (L-R) Rakshit Bhatt, Suyash Singh, Denil Chawda, Kishan Thakkar, Pranit Mehta, cofounders, GalaxEye Infosys-backed space tech startup GalaxEye said it will develop another imaging satellite given the growing demand for geospatial data globally for agriculture, mining, and defence. The new satellite will have a near 0.5 metre resolution for quality insights needed in critical sectors. The Bengaluru-based startup said its first satellite, Mission Drishti, scheduled for launch later this year from SpaceX, has a resolution of 1.25 both the satellites, GalaxEye will be using its proprietary technology by combining synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical multi-spectral imaging (MSI), aiming to provide all-weather information. The startup said the second satellite will not only deliver improved spatial resolution but also reduce revisit time to under three days, improving the responsiveness and utility of its constellation.'The world's first SyncFusion SAR-Optical satellite, originally designed in India, will now also be fully built in-house, highlighting GalaxEye's growing manufacturing and systems integration capabilities,' the startup said in a statement, adding that it will also expand its current manufacturing capabilities. IIT-Madras alumnus and CEO of the startup, Suyash Singh, said the two satellites will give a big boost to data collection and the evolving needs of defence customers. 'Our sensor stack has already been tested on over 500 aerial test flights, backed by a proprietary signal processing toolchain, the success of the POEM payload, the Drishti (1.25 m) launch, and purpose-built software to extract actionable insights,' the CEO said. Singh added that the startup will also focus on vertical integration as the clients demand more persistent eyes in the sky, expecting detailed analytics data. 'GalaxEye's vision to bring reliability and Service Level Agreements to satellite imagery—all-time, all-weather imagery—is a game changer. We've believed in their mission from the start, and with the technology now de-risked, it's time to scale,' said Vishesh Rajaram, Managing Partner at Speciale Invest, an early investor in the startup. To date, the startup has raised $22.09 million over six rounds, with Infosys owning a minority stake worth $17 crore. The firm is currently undergoing mission concept and preliminary design reviews and is strategically positioning itself to expand into high-priority international defence markets, including the United States, West Asia, and Europe.

Bengaluru space startup GalaxEye to build 2nd EO satellite with 0.5 metres resolution
BENGALURU: Bengaluru-based spacetech startup GalaxEye Thursday announced plans to build its second Earth observation satellite , targeting a sharp resolution of 0.5 metres and a revisit time of under three days. The launch is tentatively scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027, with the company also preparing to expand into high-priority international defence markets including the US, West Asia, and Europe. 'The second satellite will mark a significant leap in performance over our first satellite, Mission Drishti, which is expected to launch later this year with a resolution of 1.25 metres. Unlike the first mission, the new satellite will be entirely built in-house — showcasing the company's growing systems integration and manufacturing capabilities,' the firm said. The satellite will deploy GalaxEye's proprietary SyncFusion technology, which combines Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical data acquisition to deliver persistent, all-weather, day-and-night imagery. The improved resolution and rapid revisit capability are aimed squarely at mission-critical sectors such as defence, disaster response, maritime surveillance, and urban security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

With over 500 aerial test flights, the success of the POEM payload, and our proprietary software stack, we're confident in our ability to deliver sharper, faster, and more reliable Earth observation data,' said Suyash Singh, founder & CEO of GalaxEye. The company is currently undergoing concept and preliminary design reviews for the second mission. It has also indicated that it will scale its production facilities to support full in-house assembly, testing, and deployment — a move that signals deeper vertical integration and autonomy in future missions. Drishti is expected to validate its core technology stack. It builds on a proven sensor suite and a proprietary data processing pipeline, both of which have been extensively tested on drones, aerial platforms, and in space, including during Isro's POEM mission. Their satellites are expected to serve both defence and civilian sectors with real-time, all-weather capabilities. Applications include risk intelligence, border surveillance, urban safety, and disaster response.

Spacetech startup GalaxEye to build second satellite with 0.5 m resolution
Spacetech startup GalaxEye said on Thursday it is developing a second satellite amid growing global demand for sharper and faster geospatial insights. The satellite has near 0.5 metre resolution for quality insights needed in defence and other critical sectors. GalaxEye's first satellite, Mission Drishti, is scheduled for launch later this year. Drishti will have a resolution of 1.25 metres and serves as a milestone in demonstrating the company's proprietary technology stack, including a proven sensor system and data processing pipeline tested over 500 drone flights and spaceflight missions. GalaxEye's second satellite will deliver improved spatial resolution and reduce revisit time to under three days, significantly enhancing the responsiveness and utility of its constellation. 'Building on the experience from our first satellite — set to launch later this year — 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,' said Suyash Singh, founder and chief executive officer of GalaxEye. 'What excites us most is that this second satellite will be entirely built in-house. As we move forward, we're committed to greater vertical integration—working closely with resilient partners across the satellite supply chain.' The second satellite offers real-time, all-weather capabilities that will serve sectors like disaster response, urban security, maritime awareness and risk intelligence, said GalaxEye. 'As early backers of GalaxEye, it's incredibly rewarding to see them announce their second satellite. The dual-use potential of their technology — spanning defence, national security, and commercial sectors — is truly exciting,' said Vishesh Rajaram, managing partner at Speciale Invest. With the launch targeted for late 2026 or early 2027, GalaxEye is undergoing mission concept and preliminary design reviews, and is strategically positioning to expand into high-priority international defence markets including the United States, West Asia and Europe.
