awarded

A consortium led by Bengaluru-based space startup Pixxel, along with partners Piersight Space, Satsure Analytics, and Dhruva Space, has won the bid to design, build, and operate India's first fully indigenous commercial earth observation (EO) satellite constellation under the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre's (IN-SPACe) public-private partnership (EO-PPP) model. The project involves deploying 12 satellites equipped with optical, hyperspectral, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors over the next four years to provide high-resolution data for agriculture, urban planning, disaster management, climate monitoring, and national security.
