TLDR
Inc42 reports that IIT Madras-incubated GalaxEye has secured a US patent for its OptoSAR technology. The publisher says Mission Drishti, launched in May 2026, validated several critical technologies, though communication with the satellite was lost in July after a geomagnetic solar storm. In its September 8 update, Inc42 says GalaxEye plans to launch two more OptoSAR satellites within two years, with an eventual target of a 30-satellite constellation.
