Recently, Bengaluru-based space start-up GalaxEye successfully launched its Mission Drishti satellite aboard Falcon 9 from California.
About Mission Drishti:
It is the world’s first multi-sensor Earth observation (EO) satellite.
It is India’s largest privately built satellite and also the highest-resolution satellite developed in the country.
It is developed by the Bengaluru-based space startup – GalaxEye.
Key Features of Mission Drishti:
It is the world’s first OptoSAR satellite, combining electro-optical (EO) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors into a single platform.
While EO sensors capture high-resolution images in daylight and clear skies, SAR enables imaging in all weather conditions and at any time using radar pulses.
It is engineered as a remote-sensing Earth observation system, optimised for spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions to capture high-precision imagery.
The satellite weighs 190 kg and offers 1.5 metre resolution.
Range of applications: It will enable governments, defence agencies and industries to perform advanced geospatial analysis across a wide range of applications, including;
