In a Milestone for India’s Space Sector, A Private Consortium will Design, Deploy, and Operate the Nation’s First Earth Observation Satellite System (EOSS). The planned 12-satellite network will be completes withn four to five years at a projected cost exceding Rs 1,200 Crore.

The Winning Team, Comprising Satsure, Pixxel Space, Piersight, and Dhruva Space, will execute the mission under the Earth Observation Public-Pridership (eo -PPP) Programme Announs By in-space. The partnership grants the consortium responsibility to build, operate, and commercialize a sovereign eo constellation.

In-space Chairman Dr. Pawan goenka said the project reflects a major policy shift and underscores private sector capability. “This Initiative Signals The Coming of Age of India’s Private Space Industry in the space sector. It demonstrates the capability and confidence of Indian companies to lead large-line, Technological Advanced, And commercially viable space missions that serve both national and global markets. Self-reeliance. “

Satsure Co-Founder and CEO Prateep Basu said the group aims to deliver the most comprehensive eo solution for domestic needs and open a new era of collaboration. “We are excited to have received this options from in-space in contributing to building India’s Sovereign Capabilites in the Domain of Satellite Earth Earth Observation and Data Intelligence. Space, pirsight, and dhruva space, we have ensured that not only do we provide the mosthantsive solution for India’s’s domestic eo needs, but also use in a new era ora of proto collabing sector Achieve the monumental vision that in-space set for the Indian Private Space Industry. Satsure, with its subsidiary kaleideo, will be contributed by Commercializing Multi-spectral payload that provides high coverage at Sub-Meter Spatial Resolution. Value to users Across Different Industries. “

The eo -PP constellation will integrate panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral, and synthetic aperture radar (sar) payloads. Pixxel space will lead spacecraft manufacturing, with dhruva space handling platforms, mission operations, and ground infrastructure. Pirsight will contribute sar and maritime monitoring capability, while satsure brings expertise in Geospatial Analytics and Ai-Driven Data Interpretation.

Pixxel Founder and Ceo Awais Ahmed Said, “Dhruva space’s expertise in Satellite Platforms and Mission Operations, Paired With With Pixxel’s Leadership in Hyperpectral iapectral iGing and SpacaCecla Manufacturing, Satsure’s Strength in Geospatial Analytics, and Piersight’s Advanced Sar and Maritime Monitoring Capabilites, Creates A Partnership with Truly Complement Building a full indigenous eo system that will deliver unmatched versatiles for national priorities and global applications, and showcase the depth and capability of India’s private space sector. “

Dhruva Space Co-Founder and Ceo Sanjay Nekkanti Highlighted Its New 280,000 Sq Ft SQ Ft Spacecraft manuft manuft manuft manufacturing facility in Telangana, designed to enjoy Mission-critical subsystems. “Dhruva space is thrilled to join forces in this watershed initiative. High-throughput manufacturing, assembly, integration, and test (Ait) capacity, enabling rapid delivery of bespoke satellites and mission-critical subsystems. Capability to Deliver TurnKey Ground Segment Infrastructure, ENSURING SECURE, Seamless Operations Across the eo CONSTELLILTION LIFECYCLE. Our consortium partners, we are positioned to deliver a resilient, end-to-end eo architecture that addresses strategic requirements while Meeting Global Commercial Benchmarks. “

Pirsight Co-founder and Ceo Gaurav Seth Emphasized The Benefits of Sar. “Sar makes the constellation operational 24/7 in all weather conditions. Just raw data. “

The initiative aims to strengthen India’s position in space-based intelligence while offering global commercial services. Satsure’s optical multispectral satellites and ai-jams tools will be centers
