#BREAKING | Pixxel-Led Consortium with partners Dhruva Space, PierSight and SatSure Wins IN-SPACe Proposal to Build India’s National EO Constellation Bengaluru, India, August 12, 2025 — Pixxel, a Bengaluru-based space technology company building the world's highest-resolution hyperspectral satellite constellation, today announced that a consortium it leads, along with partners Dhruva Space, PierSight and SatSure, has been selected by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) to design, build, own, and operate a national Earth observation constellation under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. In a historic first for the country, a private Indian consortium will deliver the nation’s first Earth Observation Satellite System (EOSS) — a 12-satellite network to be developed over the next four to five years with an investment of more than ₹1,200 crores. The project will enhance India’s data sovereignty, reduce dependence on foreign imagery, and ensure that all satellites are manufactured domestically, launched on Indian rockets, and controlled from within the country. The constellation will feature a mix of sub-metre very high-resolution, wide-swath multispectral, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and hyperspectral satellites, enabling applications such as precision agriculture, water quality monitoring, land-use mapping, environmental compliance, disaster assessment, and infrastructure development.

With an aim to achieve the objectives of Joint Capability Planning, a framework bound process termed as Integrated Capability Development System (ICADS) has been adopted. ICADS is a five-stage process and deliverables of the process are the 10 Year Integrated Capability Development Plan (ICDP), two 5 Year Defence Capital Acquisition Plans (DCAP) and Two Year Roll-On Annual Acquisition Plans (AAP). Presently, Stage-III of ICADS is in progress. ICDP post approval and promulgation, will enhance Integration and Jointness in Capability Planning leading to identification/acquisition of modern capabilities and technologies required by the three Services in consonance with the likely budgetary support from the Government. This strategic roadmap will not merely be a list of acquisitions but a meticulously crafted plan emanating from higher directives and aligned with long-term defence objectives. ICADS would address the specific needs of the armed forces identified through rigorous threat assessments and capability gap analyses, ensuring a holistic approach to capability enhancement, primarily through “Make in India” initiative of GoI : GoI reply to Parliamentary Committee on Defence.

RT by @alpha_defense: To achieve true #Atmanirbhar in fighter aircraft & engine devp the #goi must adopt a msn mode & whole of nation approach. All these verticals have to be brought together. #Private industry with deep tech & manufacturing capacity, academic institutions with cutting edge research in propulsion, aerodynamics, materials & control systems, Young 20 something engineers & tech talent hungry to innovate, software sector for AI, msn systems & simulation tools, DRDO, ADA, IAF test pilots & test engineers who bring with them irreplaceable domainknowledge. We must facilitate ToT for critical enablers,test benches, metallurgy, thermals, composites, electronic labs, control systems & adv sensors. We should devp the existing set up & establish a national fighter engine devp lab with global collaborations & #IP retention. Govt must incentivise reverse brain drain by offering grants, fellowships & equity based roles in long term aerospace pgms. PPP model or govt supported long cycle R&D funding to support radical innovation not just incremental upgrades. Earmark an @IAF_MCC base for this task, create a separate & dedicated fund under @PMOIndia, managed by an #aviation technocrat or mil avn specialist, complete authy to cut red tape, attract talent & accountability. This setup must be kept outside usual bureaucratic constraints structured like #ISRO or the #nuclear pgm with continuity & clear milestones.

#Trump | Once you slap a 25% tariff on any import, you've already crippled its market. Whether you hike it to 50%, 100%, 200%, or even 1000% it’s just theatrics at that point. The real economic blow has already landed. So when you crank it up beyond that, you're not shaping trade policy anymore you’re performing for headlines, keeping your voter base entertained, and baiting the other side to respond. It’s less diplomacy, more like school kids threatening each other with “I’ll eat Surf” or “I’ll drink phenyl” standoffs.
