Developed by Indian Space Start-up GalaxEye, launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, it is India's largest privately built Earth Observation satellite.
About Mission Drishti
- Uses OptoSAR: It is the first to combine Multispectral Imaging (MSI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on a single platform.
- Orbit: Sun-synchronous Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
- LEO orbits around Earth at an altitude of about 160 km to 2,000 km.
- Capability: All-weather, day-night, intuitive imaging capabilities.
- It will promote space-based surveillance.
- Resolution: Highest among Indian private players.
About OptoSAR
- It is an end-to-end system of hardware and software designed to work in perfect harmony.
- Technology Used: SyncFusion Stack
- Addresses Limitations of Earlier Satellites:
- Optical sensors: Deliver clear, intuitive images, but are limited by clouds and darkness.
- SAR: Can see through cloud cover and operate day and night, but imagery is harder to interpret.
