GalaxEye secures US patent for OptoSAR satellite imaging tech
GalaxEye
GalaxEye became the first Indian startup to win a US patent for its OptoSAR tech, which fuses optical and SAR imaging on one satellite.
what happened
GalaxEye secured a US patent covering the architecture used to align and synchronize optical and synthetic aperture radar sensors on its satellites, capturing spatially and temporally matched imagery day and night, per Inc42 and Daijiworld. The company says it is the first Indian startup to win a US patent for satellite imaging technology.
why it matters
The patent covers the core sensor-fusion approach behind GalaxEye's OptoSAR line, which the company is scaling toward a planned 30-satellite constellation over five years. It strengthens GalaxEye's IP position against other multi-sensor EO players as it pursues defense, agriculture, insurance, and disaster-response customers.
