An important milestone has been reached by the Indian spacetech start-up GalaxEye, which successfully tested its SyncFusion Imaging System. Even amid the severe conditions of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a location renowned for its high radiation levels, the company’s GLX-SQ payload, which was a component of the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) POEM-4 mission, produced outstanding findings.
The GLX-SQ payload from GalaxEye was tested on ISRO’s POEM-4 platform, an experimental space laboratory that recycles the PSLV rocket’s fourth stage. The test demonstrates GalaxEye’s technology’s ability to withstand harsh space conditions.
Operating in the SAA, where radiation exposure is higher, and during an eclipse, when temperatures can fall below -10°C, the GLX-SQ system remained fully functioning despite the harsh conditions.
The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical imaging are combined in the SyncFusion Imaging System. Large data volumes can be processed and compressed using the system, which can transform analog signals into digital format in less than ten minutes.
GalaxEye’s CEO and co-founder, Suyash Singh, said the company aimed to test the limits of its technology to demonstrate its resilience. He continued by saying that using the SAA during an eclipse showed how well the technology worked and how resilient it was to harsh circumstances, demonstrating both engineering prowess and India’s emerging leadership in space innovation.
With its next project, Mission Drishti, a multi-sensor earth observation satellite program, GalaxEye is building on this success.
GalaxEye’s cutting-edge space solutions have applications in disaster relief, agriculture, defense, and more.
