GalaxEye to launch Drishti satellite with SyncFused OptoSAR tech

Space-tech startup @GalaxEye is set to launch its first satellite, “Drishti”, in the first quarter of 2026. The 160-kg satellite, described as the country’s largest privately built commercial spacecraft, will lift off aboard a SpaceX mission. The satellite will feature GalaxEye’s proprietary “SyncFused OptoSAR” imaging technology, which fuses optical and SAR data synchronously on a single platform—claimed to be the first of its kind globally.

Chennai-based OrbitAID Aerospace has received the Indo-Australian Space MAITRI grant. With this support, the startup will launch India’s first in-orbit docking and refuelling system, called the Standard Interface for Docking and Refuelling Port (SIDRP). Under the agreement, OrbitAID’s SIDRP system will be launched on an international joint mission led by Australia’s Space Machines Company in 2026, the startup announced. This will mark the first commercial use of an Indian-developed docking and refuelling technology in space. 🔗 Read full article link in comment #orbitsAIDaerospace #indoaustralianmaitrigrant #chennai #spacetech #startupnews

🚀 From Rotor to Rocket: Redefining Possibility 🔹 Lifting vs. Launching You could lift it with a rotor, yes. But rockets? They don’t just move objects—they move possibility. Think SpaceX’s Starship, capable of lifting over 100 tons to orbit. That’s not just physics; that’s rewriting the rules. 🔹 Precision in Motion Rotors are incredible for efficiency and control. Rockets? They demand innovation at every step. From 3D-printed engines reaching 99%+ efficiency to reusable boosters slashing costs by over 30%, rockets push humanity further than ever before. 🔹 Why It Matters Every rocket launch isn’t just hardware in the sky. It’s a proof of vision, an example of what’s possible when ambition meets engineering. Whether it’s delivering satellites or preparing for Mars, rockets make the impossible imaginable. ✨ What if we started treating all challenges like rockets? Not just moving things—but moving possibilities forward. #Innovation #SpaceExploration #Engineering #TechnologyTrends #FutureOfFlight #SpaceTech #Leadership

🚀 Backing Bold Ideas – From Čakovec to Low Earth Orbit Genesis Space Flight Laboratories, a pioneering Croatian startup, is building satellites and return capsules that could one day replace the International Space Station as a platform for microgravity research. Led by visionary founder Bence Mátyás, Genesis has already launched its first CubeSat on a SpaceX Falcon 9 and is now developing GEN capsules to make space-based science more affordable and accessible to researchers worldwide. At Fil Rouge Capital, we believe in investing in the bold – and Genesis is a perfect example of how world-class innovation can thrive right here in the region. Read more about the details of this fascinating endeavor in the first comment. Go Bence Mátyás! 👏 #frc #filrougecapital #capitalforthebold

A Chennai-based space startup, Space Kidz India, is preparing to script history with the world’s first all-women scientific lunar mission by 2027. The company’s mascot and sensors are set to hitch a ride aboard Japan’s iSpace Resilience spacecraft as part of the Hakuto-R mission. Before the lunar launch, Space Kidz plans to send a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite between October and December 2026 as a precursor to the main mission. The initiative — expected to cost around ₹120 crore — will involve girl students aged 14–18 from 108 countries who will collaborate with the Space Kidz team throughout the project. #spacekidzindia #space #womeninspace #lunarmission #startup #businessnews #corporatecurrent
