EON Space Labs is building India’s indigenous optical payloads after Falcon 9 Success

EON Space Labs has spent the last few years building optical systems for satellites, drones, and ground-based platforms, with a focus on reducing India’s dependence on imported imaging technologies. The Hyderabad-based startup has now crossed an important milestone with Mira, its flagship earth-observation payload, reaching orbit aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter-18 mission on October 2, 2026. The company expects to receive its first images in the next 10 days.
