Bengaluru-based space tech firm GalaxEye is preparing to launch ‘Drishti’, India’s largest privately built commercial satellite, in early 2026 aboard a SpaceX mission. Weighing 160 kg, it aims to provide high-resolution imaging services. The startup says it has secured its launch slot and is integrating sensors and payloads. This move marks a milestone for India’s private space sector and underscores growing global interest in Earth observation, data services, and national sovereignty in space capabilities.
