Drishti Mission

Drishti Mission is GalaxEye’s flagship Earth Observation program, aimed at deploying the world’s first OptoSAR satellite by combining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multispectral optical imaging on a single spacecraft. The program is led by GalaxEye, which developed the OptoSAR concept and mission architecture, while MetaSensing provides the spaceborne SAR payload for the first mission. By acquiring SAR and optical imagery simultaneously, Drishti delivers synchronized, all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation data for defense, disaster response, agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, and commercial applications.
