Bengaluru-based spacetech startup GalaxEye is partnering with SpaceX to launch a multi-sensor Earth observation satellite called 'Drishiti' by mid next year.
The satellite will weigh 150 kg and will be the first of a constellation of five satellites.
GalaxEye aims to position itself as a key provider of data across various altitudes.
SpaceX was chosen for the launch due to timeline challenges with ISRO. GalaxEye was also a finalist at the SpaceX Hyperloop competition in 2019.
