Spacetech startup GalaxEye announces plans to build second satellite with 0.5m resolution
Bengaluru, 20th June, 2025 — GalaxEye, a Bengaluru-based space-tech startup pioneering Syncfusion SAR-Optical imaging satellite technology, has announced the development of its second satellite amid growing global demand for sharper and faster geospatial insights. Engineered to deliver near 0.5 metre resolution, the satellite will ensure elevation in detail and quality of insights for the defence use cases among other critical sectors. The announcement follows closely on the heels of GalaxEye's upcoming first satellite, Mission Drishti, which is scheduled for launch later this year. Drishti offers a resolution of 1.25 metres and serves as a key milestone in demonstrating the company's proprietary technology stack, including a proven sensor system and Data Processing pipeline tested over 500 drone flights and spaceflight missions such as the POEM payload. GalaxEye's second satellite will not only deliver improved spatial resolution but also reduce revisit time to under three days, significantly enhancing the responsiveness and utility of its constellation. Notably, the world's first SyncFusion SAR-Optical satellite, originally designed in India, will now also be fully built in-house—highlighting GalaxEye's growing manufacturing and systems integration capabilities. To support this expansion, the company also plans to scale its facilities in the near future. 'Building on the experience from our first satellite—set to launch later this year—and the evolving needs of our defence customers, we're thrilled to take the next big step in scaling our constellation and deepening our mission impact,' said Suyash Singh, Founder & CEO of GalaxEye. 'What excites us most is that this second satellite will be entirely built in-house. Our sensor stack has already been tested on over 500 aerial test flights, backed by a proprietary signal processing toolchain, the success of the POEM payload, the Drishti (1.25m) launch, and purpose-built software to extract actionable insights. As we move forward, we're committed to greater vertical integration—working closely with resilient partners across the satellite supply chain. The world today demands faster, sharper, and more persistent eyes in the sky. With enhanced resolution and performance, our second satellite marks a significant leap in unlocking richer, more detailed analytical intelligence.' GalaxEye extends its gratitude towards ISRO, IN-SPACe and NAL for their guidance and support. Their commitment to nurturing India's space-tech ecosystem has been vital in our journey to push boundaries in Earth observation innovation. At a time when geopolitical conflicts and cross-border threats are escalating, nations are actively seeking sharper, more reliable satellite data to safeguard national interests. The second satellite, designed with mission-critical applications in mind, offers real-time, all-weather capabilities and will also serve adjacent sectors like disaster response, urban security, maritime awareness and risk intelligence. 'As early backers of GalaxEye, it's incredibly rewarding to see them announce their second satellite. The dual-use potential of their technology — spanning defence, national security, and commercial sectors — is truly exciting. GalaxEye's bold vision to bring reliability and Service Level Agreements to satellite imagery – all time all weather imagery – is a game-changer. We've believed in their mission from the start, and with the technology now de-risked, it's time to scale.' said Vishesh Rajaram, Managing Partner at Speciale Invest. With the launch targeted for late 2026 or early 2027, the company is currently undergoing mission concept and preliminary design reviews, and is strategically positioning to expand into high-priority international defence markets including the United States, West Asia and Europe.

Bengaluru space startup GalaxEye to build 2nd EO satellite with 0.5 metres resolution
BENGALURU: Bengaluru-based spacetech startup GalaxEye Thursday announced plans to build its second Earth observation satellite , targeting a sharp resolution of 0.5 metres and a revisit time of under three days. The launch is tentatively scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027, with the company also preparing to expand into high-priority international defence markets including the US, West Asia, and Europe. 'The second satellite will mark a significant leap in performance over our first satellite, Mission Drishti, which is expected to launch later this year with a resolution of 1.25 metres. Unlike the first mission, the new satellite will be entirely built in-house — showcasing the company's growing systems integration and manufacturing capabilities,' the firm said. The satellite will deploy GalaxEye's proprietary SyncFusion technology, which combines Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical data acquisition to deliver persistent, all-weather, day-and-night imagery. The improved resolution and rapid revisit capability are aimed squarely at mission-critical sectors such as defence, disaster response, maritime surveillance, and urban security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

ADVANCING ENDOSCOPIC EXCELLENCE
Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur Reaches 50 POEM Cases, Leading the Way in Minimally Invasive, Incisionless Treatment KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL) proudly celebrates a major milestone in its endoscopic journey, having successfully performed 50 Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedures since the service was introduced in 2020. This achievement highlights the hospital's growing leadership in advanced, minimally invasive gastrointestinal treatments. The POEM procedures are led by Dr. Lau Peng Choong, Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgeon at PHKL. POEM is a cutting-edge, incisionless procedure used to treat achalasia, a rare disorder that affects the ability of the oesophagus to move food into the stomach. 'We're proud to reach this milestone of 50 POEM cases,' said Dr. Lau. 'This treatment has significantly improved the quality of life for patients with achalasia—a condition that's often misdiagnosed as acid reflux or anxiety. With POEM, we can now offer an effective, minimally invasive solution with quicker recovery and less discomfort.' Unlike traditional or even laparoscopic surgeries, POEM is performed entirely using an endoscope passed through the mouth. The technique involves cutting the muscles at the lower end of the oesophagus to allow smoother passage of food, offering faster recovery times, less pain, and lower complication risks. Expanding the Scope of Endoscopic Expertise In addition to POEM, Dr. Lau Peng Choong, Consultant Upper GI Surgeon, and Dr. Gew Lai Teck, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist, have successfully performed Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) for close to 20 patients with Stage 1 gastrointestinal cancers, eliminating the need for minimally invasive or open surgery. ESD is a highly precise procedure that allows for the removal of complex growths—such as early cancers or large polyps—from the gastrointestinal tract without external incisions. Both specialists are extensively trained in advanced endoscopic interventions, and their expertise is supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team, ensuring that patients receive seamless, collaborative, and comprehensive care. 'With the recent introduction of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), we're further broadening our scope of minimally invasive treatment options,' shared Dr. Lau. 'From cancer treatment to obesity management and digestive disorders, we're committed to helping patients heal faster, feel better, and return to daily life sooner.' PHKL is now offering ESG procedures at an introductory rate of RM25,000, making it an accessible solution for patients considering effective weight management treatments. The procedure is performed by Dr Lau Peng Choong, Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon, and Dr Gew Lai Teck, Consultant Gastroenterologist—both trained and experienced in advanced endoscopic techniques.
