Bengaluru-based startup GalaxEye Space launched the world’s first OptoSAR imaging satellite, Mission Drishti, on 3 May aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from California.
Pathfinder, to be developed by Pixxel and Sarvam AI, is India’s first orbital data centre satellite. It opens the door for satellites that can ‘think’ for themselves and deliver conclusions.
Startup GalaxEye Space poses one question for global satellite imagery: ‘Why must we choose between satellite data that is either clear or consistent?’
OrbitAID’s AayulSAT was scheduled to fly on board ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle’s C-62 mission, which ultimately failed to place the satellites in orbit.
Despite the Space Policy of 2023, redefining ISRO's role and encouraging it to step away from commercial launches, the space organisation was still not able to meet its goal for 2025.
Half a dozen graduates from IIT, BITS Pilani, and other engineering colleges are propelling India into the next frontier of modern spaceflight — satellites in LEO. Hyderabad is a hub.
Backed by foreign investors, the PixxelSpace-led consortium didn't seek any govt funding for the project. It is 'a missed opportunity' for them, say smaller players.
Consortium will invest over Rs 1,200 cr over 5 yrs to launch a constellation of 12 EO satellites in what is being billed as coming of age of India’s private space industry.
TakeMe2Space, the newest kid on the startup block, is creating a stir. Its AI-inference model allows satellites to not just collect data but also make sense of it in space.
Pakistan is seeing stabilisation without transformation, satisfied creditors without serving citizens & its most lauded fiscal achievement is deteriorating, even before it's fully realised.
The primary task of the over 100 AN-32s with the IAF is to deliver all that is needed for sustenance of soldiers across the country, from high altitude and mountainous terrain to the island chains.
It’s a perfectly reasonable presumption that Modi will be around for a significant enough time for us to reflect on the challenges that lie ahead. I will list five.
What is the rush in publishing an alarm of a maiden launch of a highly complex satellite by a private operator and with a “doomsday” title. A more prudent approach would have been to monitor the progress and then report the success or failure thereafter with a detailed analysis of why. Nuanced reporting seems to be missing from our journalism – explain the complex technology and why a daring private operator rose up to the challenge with this launc. I am sure they will learn from this launch and get better. Also, how many other companies have attempted this and what is their success rate and how long did it take for them to succeed. Either we jump up when there is a success or we sink in doom and gloom when there is a failure. Some appreciation that this is “rocket science” would better serve your readers.
