Week in Space Data, every Friday.
GalaxEye is developing multi-sensor satellite payloads that fuse SAR and optical imaging for all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation.
ACTIVEGalaxEye, founded in 2021 by engineers from IIT Madras, is an Earth observation company building OptoSAR satellites that fuse radar (SAR) and optical sensors. Its first satellite, Mission Drishti, launched on 3 May 2026, but contact was lost in July 2026 after an anomaly the company linked to a solar storm.

Provisional: the latest data refresh looked incomplete and was held, so these scores use inputs measured 2026-10-10.
Rank 102 of 156 ranked companies. With the pillars we have not measured for this company filled at the 10th and 90th percentiles of the companies we did measure, and every other company held at its published total, the rank is likely between 73 and 140.
2 of 5 inputs measured · Medium confidence · 75% of applicable weight backed by data
Not measured: Market value, Reported revenue
Not measured: Open-role change (90 days)
A pillar score averages the company’s percentiles among the tracked companies with a value: relative standing, not a grade. Inputs measured 2026-10-10 (UTC) · methodology v6. Every input, its value and percentile · How it is computed
