GalaxEye Launches Mission Drishti For Reliable Imaging
Indian spacetech startup GalaxEye announced on Feb 18, 2026 at the India-AI Impact Summit that Mission Drishti will launch in 2026, featuring the SyncFused OptoSAR architecture combining optical and SAR sensors. The satellite uses Nvidia Jetson Orin for onboard AI to process imagery in orbit and explores "orbital data centres" to network satellites as compute nodes. It aims to deliver faster, all-weather Earth-observation insights for agriculture, disaster response, and security.
Key Points
- 1Combines optical and SAR sensors into first SyncFused OptoSAR satellite for all-weather imaging.
- 2Uses Nvidia Jetson Orin to run onboard AI, reducing downlink and speeding in-orbit analysis.
- 3Enables faster, actionable intelligence for agriculture, disaster response, environmental monitoring, and security planning.
Scoring Rationale
Onboard AI plus optical-SAR fusion offers practical innovation; score limited by single-company announcement and unproven operational performance.
