GalaxEye secures US patent for OptoSAR satellite imaging technology

Indian space technology startup GalaxEye has secured a US patent for the core technology behind its OptoSAR imaging system, strengthening its intellectual-property portfolio as it looks to expand its Earth-observation business. The company said the patent makes it the first Indian startup to receive a US patent specifically for satellite imaging technology. However, this distinction is based on GalaxEye’s own announcement and has not been independently verified against all Indian space startups.
