Digantara

Digantara is a Bengaluru-based space situational awareness (SSA) and space surveillance company founded in 2018 that tracks resident space objects to enable space safety, traffic management, and national security. It operates SCOT (Space Camera for Object Tracking), described as one of the world's first commercial SSA satellites, alongside ground-based observatories and a space domain awareness command-and-control centre. Its capabilities span space- and ground-based surveillance, debris monitoring, and analytics built on infrared and electro-optical sensors.

Key Challenges

Growth of orbital debris and resident space objects with no real-time tracking systems was the founding problem.Scaling satellite manufacturing toward a 30-satellite annual capacity facility in Andhra Pradesh.International market expansion into the U.S. and Europe for a still-nascent commercial SSA category.Competing as the only India-based player in a small global field of commercial SSA providers.
