GalaxEye

GalaxEye is a Bengaluru-based Earth-observation startup, incubated at IIT Madras and founded by ex-Avishkar Hyperloop team members, that builds multi-sensor imaging satellites fusing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with optical/multispectral sensors on a single platform via its proprietary OptoSAR/SyncFusion technology. Its flagship Mission Drishti is billed as the world's first satellite to carry both SAR and multispectral sensors, enabling all-weather, day-and-night imaging delivered as a data service.

Mission Drishti (Drishti satellite)

operational
satellite constellation

World's first commercial satellite carrying both SAR and multispectral/optical sensors on one platform (~190 kg, India's largest privately built EO satellite), launched May 2026.

Since 2026

OptoSAR / SyncFusion technology

operational
sensor fusion technology

Co-locates an X-band SAR sensor and a multispectral imager on one optical bench, fusing data onboard into a high-resolution fused product.

Since 2026

Fused imagery Data-as-a-Service

development
data platform

Delivers fused SAR+optical imagery for agriculture, disaster response, environmental monitoring, infrastructure, and defence.

Key Challenges

Conventional optical satellites are blind through cloud cover and darkness, the market gap GalaxEye's SAR+optical fusion targets.
