GalaxEye Sets Milestone with World’s First SAR-Optical Fusion in Space

 

GalaxEye, an innovative spacetech startup, has achieved a major breakthrough by successfully deploying its GLX-SQ payload aboard ISRO’s PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM). This marks the first-ever fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical imagery in orbit, a game-changing advancement in satellite-based Earth observation.

 

The GLX-SQ mission showcases GalaxEye’s advanced technology in real-time data acquisition, processing, and efficient power management. Deployed on ISRO’s POEM platform, which transforms the PSLV rocket’s fourth stage into an orbital testing hub, the mission validates GalaxEye’s cutting-edge solutions in a real-world environment.

 

This revolutionary technology has applications across defence, agriculture, and disaster management, providing deeper insights than traditional remote sensing. The GLX-SQ payload processes and compresses vast amounts of data in under 10 minutes, offering real-time solutions for critical challenges.

 

“This mission is a landmark for GalaxEye and the future of space technology,” said Suyash Singh, CEO and co-founder. “By merging SAR and optical imagery in space, we’ve redefined Earth observation, delivering faster, sharper insights for industries that rely on accurate data.”
