Startup 11 – Five-man Galaxeye Army Aiming For Space

Their mission is to revolutionize imaging services using advanced earth observation satellites.

The mission will be accomplished by developing, orbiting and designing a fifteen-satellite constellation.

Each satellite would not weigh less than 150kg.

Five members of the team are responsible for guiding GalaxEye Space Solutions Pvt Ltd., a startup that develops space technology.They include Suyash Singh (Co-Founder and CEO), Denil Chawda (Co-Founder and CTO), Rakshit Bhhatt (Vice President, Computing), Kishan Thakkar (Vice President Product Development) Pranit Mehta (Vice President Business Development).

We became interested in space technology, and we joined the team as a group in 2020.Chawda explained to IANS that the company was formed in May 2021.

Mehta said that the promoters (Founding members) are made up of Team Avishkar Hyperloop students who work on technologies to realize Hyperloop.

Chawda stated that GalaxEye would create the satellite and source all the parts.

The spacecraft will then be outsourced to GalaxEye.

We are currently in the middle phase of design.The payload component will be innovative, and we’ll develop new types of sensors.In Q3 2023, the first satellite will go into orbit.

Chawda stated that our constellation of satellites would be available in five years.

GalaxEye will conduct an aerial test as part of its preparations for payloads in March 2022.

Mehta stated that after proving our technology, we now have a prototype to validate our product.This would give us more confidence and reduce the risk of potentially dangerous technologies.
