GalaxEye Space, a space-tech startup, has announced a strategic partnership with SkyFi, that simplifies access to Earth observation imagery and provides powerful analytics tools.
This collaboration signifies a major advancement in the industry, coming well ahead of GalaxEye’s first satellite launch and promising to enhance the accessibility and quality of high-resolution, multi-sensor data for a deeper understanding of Earth’s dynamic landscapes.
The space startup’s innovative technology equips satellites with both Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Electro-Optical/Multispectral Imaging (MSI) capabilities. This dual approach allows for the simultaneous collection of diverse data sets, providing valuable insights regardless of weather conditions. The maiden satellite, set to launch in Q3 2024, will feature a 2-meter resolution. Following this, four additional satellites are planned for 2025, aiming to achieve sub-1 meter resolution and daily global revisits.
Suyash Singh, Co-founder and CEO of GalaxEye Space, emphasized the transformative potential of this partnership: “At GalaxEye, we are passionate about pushing the boundaries of Earth observation. This partnership with SkyFi is a game-changer. 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.”
Luke Fischer, CEO of SkyFi, expressed similar enthusiasm: “We are excited to partner with GalaxEye and bring their new age multi-sensor imaging satellite capabilities into our platform. This partnership not only expands our capabilities but also aligns with our mission to make satellite imagery more accessible and useful for everyone. 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.”
This collaboration integrates GalaxEye’s advanced multi-sensor technology with SkyFi’s platform, enhancing the range and quality of Earth observation data available to users. The partnership supports the ‘Make in India for the World’ initiative, highlighting India’s growing role in space technology.
