Bengaluru's Pixxel launched India's first private earth imaging satellite constellation, Firefly, using SpaceX rockets. These hyperspectral satellites offer unparalleled 5-meter resolution imaging for various sectors,

India's space tech startup Pixxel launched three of its six hyperspectral imaging satellites aboard a SpaceX rocket from California on Tuesday. The satellites were launched at 1915 GMT, just after midnight in India,

Aboard the launch vehicle, Pixxel deployed the first three hyperspectral imagery-enabled satellites of its Firefly constellation and Digantara, its Space Camera for Object Tracking (SCOT) mission for space surveillance.

Bengaluru-based spacetech startups Pixxel and Digantara have launched their satellites aboard Transporter-12 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The satellites dim to use hyperspectral imaging, capturing detailed data across light bands to aid agriculture, mining, environmental monitoring, and defence.

Pixxel, an innovative space tech startup from India, has successfully launched the first three hyperspectral satellites of its pioneering commercial

The startup intends to deploy 18 satellites in its constellation to deliver essential climate and Earth insights to industries worldwide. These indigenously developed satellites were integrated through SpaceX’s Exolaunch and launched aboard the Transporter-12 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The launch is scheduled to take place at Vandenberg Space Force Base at around 10:45 AM Pacific Time Tuesday - just after midnight the next day in India - subject to final approvals.

Indian space-tech startups Pixxel, Digantara, and XDLINX Space Labs successfully launch satellites to monitor earth and space objects aboard SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission. Pixxel's Firefly constellation achieves India's first private satellite constellation with high-resolution imaging.

Space startup Pixxel, which is based out of Bengaluru has made history on Wednesday by launching India's first private constellation of earth imaging satellites called Firefly, thereby making a grand entrance into the fast-emerging field of hyper-spectral imaging.
