GalaxEye tests SAR sensor tech on NAL’s pseudo-satellite.

Science and Technology

Bengaluru-based space technology startup GalaxEye announced on Tuesday the successful testing of its Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology on a subscale High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) developed by the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL).HAPS systems operate from the stratosphere like high-flying drones. They are enabled for prolonged periods of aerial surveillance by solar energy and advanced battery systems. SAR comes with the advantage of all-weather, all-time imaging capabilities.


      The company called the SAR trials the first by a private entity on a HAPS platform.
