What they do

GalaxEye is a Bangalore-based space-tech startup developing the world's first OptoSAR imaging satellite, combining SAR and MSI sensors on a single platform

What happened

The company raised $6.5 million to fund the launch of its first satellite, Mission Drishti, scheduled for Q1 2026

Why it matters

GalaxEye has engaged Mumbai-based creative agency CCS to develop its brand strategy and public messaging beyond its technological innovations

The details

  • GalaxEye is a Bangalore-based space-tech startup that recently raised $6.5 million to launch a multi-sensor satellite imaging technology.
  • Mission Drishti is the company's first satellite, which will be the world's first commercial multi-sensor satellite combining SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and MSI (Multispectral Imaging) sensors on a single platform.
  • SAR allows imaging in all weather conditions and at night, while MSI captures rich spectral data across multiple bands.
  • OptoSAR technology eliminates the need for data fusion from separate sources, delivering an inherently aligned, analysis-ready product with three times more information than a standalone sensor.
  • GalaxEye has engaged CCS, a Mumbai-based creative agency, to develop its brand strategy and public messaging beyond its technological innovations.
  • Suyash Singh, Co-Founder & CEO of GalaxEye, wants the company to be more than just a space company and to be known as a force of good for mankind.
  • CCS has worked with high-growth startups and clients such as Tata, L'Oreal, OYO, and NY Cinemas over the past 15 years.

The bigger picture

  • GalaxEye is developing the world's first OptoSAR imaging satellite, combining SAR and MSI sensors on a single platform.
  • Mission Drishti is the company's first satellite, scheduled for launch in Q1 2026.
  • OptoSAR technology provides all-weather visibility and intuitive clarity, making it a platform for new products, workflows, and use cases.
  • GalaxEye aims to make high-quality satellite imagery as accessible as any dependable, everyday utility.
