About
GalaxEye Space develops India first multi-sensor Earth observation satellite combining SAR and optical imaging for all-weather day-night surveillance.
Drishti carries a high-resolution SAR (VV polarization) and a multispectral imager (7 bands, 3.6 m native) on the same platform. Fusing SAR + optical yields 1.8 m effective resolution and all-weather, day-night imagery. Launched May 3, 2026, Mission Drishti provides 24/7 intelligence for defense, agriculture, infrastructure and disaster response. In Feb 2026 GalaxEye and NSIL agreed to sell Drishti's data via NSIL, expanding India's commercial EO services.
