The innovative system will analyse data from synthetic aperture radar (SAR), earth observation (EO), infrared and hyper spectral sensors before transmitting it to ground stations, GalaxEye Space said in a statement. Designed as an independent, pluggable module, this device can be attached to any multi-sensor satellite, providing high processing throughput, power efficiency, compact size, lightweight reliability, compatibility with existing systems and ease of maintenance, it added. The technology aims to efficiently handle the large data volumes generated by low earth orbit (LEO) imaging satellites while adhering to strict power, size, and weight constraints, and ensuring reliable performance in the harsh conditions of space, the statement further said. GalaxEye was founded by Denil Chawda, Kishan Thakkar, Pranit Mehta, Rakshit Bhatt, Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy and Suyash Singh, a group of entrepreneurs emerging from Avishkar Hyperloop, in 2020. The team was brought together by global competitions organised by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The startup provides multi-sensor imagery via satellites, providing insights by bringing imaging data from space. GalaxEye can provide all-weather imaging at all times without atmospheric interference. The technology the startup uses also enables it to generate images with extremely high resolution using a small satellite constellation. RECOMMENDED FOR yOU
