Technology developed by GalaxEye equips satellites with both Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-band) and Optical/Multispectral Imaging (MSI) capabilities. This approach allows simultaneous collection of diverse data sets, providing insights regardless of weather conditions. Their initial satellite launch, which will facilitate 2-meter resolution, is scheduled for Q3 2024. the launch will pave the way for four other advanced satellites in 2025, aiming to achieve sub-1 meter resolution and daily revisits of any location on Earth.
“By combining our advanced multi-sensor technology with their user-friendly platform, we transform decision-making for businesses and governments globally. This integration provides insights under any weather conditions and aligns with the 'Make in India for the World' initiative, strengthening India's prominence in space technology.” said Suyash Singh, Co-founder and CEO of GalaxEye Space.
"This partnership not only expands our capabilities but also aligns with our mission to make satellite imagery more accessible and useful for everyone," said Luke Fischer, CEO of SkyFi. "The simultaneous SAR and Optical imaging will provide useful information to end-users, allowing us to meet and exceed our customers' expectations with even more detailed and frequent observations of the Earth."
The inclusion of GalaxEye's technology in SkyFi's platform will improve the range and quality of earth observation data available to the users. This partnership supports SkyFi’s advancements as the world’s geospatial hub.
