Hyderabad: Eon Space Labs, a Hyderabad-based deep-tech startup, is gearing up to mark a major milestone in India’s private space ecosystem. The startup is launching its advanced multispectral imaging payload MIRA aboard the ISRO’s PSLV-C62 mission, scheduled for January 12 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
The payload has been integrated with MOI-1, a CubeSat weighing a mere 14 kg, developed by fellow Hyderabad-based startup TakeMe2Space, and will demonstrate the viability of India’s first AI-powered orbital image laboratories, a press release said.
The mission enables near real-time, in-orbit processing of Earth observation data, significantly lowering data downlink costs. The MOI-1 CubeSat is designed as an open AI lab in space, allowing users to deploy and test AI models for applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, urban analysis, and resource mapping. By processing data onboard, the system transmits actionable data rather than large volumes of raw imagery.
Founded in Hyderabad by Sanjay Kumar, Punit Badeka and Manoj Kumar Gaddam, EON Space Labs specialises in the design and manufacture of advanced electro-optical imaging systems for space, aerial and ground platforms.
