Indian tech startups TakeMe2Space, SatLeo Labs, and EON Space Labs successfully launched payloads aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 on today's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. The satellites, carrying AI computing and Earth observation technologies, included TakeMe2Space's MOI-1A for AI-inferred Earth observation data processing, SatLeo Labs' TAPAS-1 thermal-imaging payload, and EON Space Labs' MIRA multispectral imaging system.
TakeMe2Space's MOI-1A, weighing 14 kg, features onboard computing capacity of 117 trillion operations per second and a nine-band multispectral imager. The satellite can analyze imagery in orbit and reduce data volume by a factor of 1,000. SatLeo Labs' TAPAS-1 thermal-imaging payload will help capture land-surface temperature data.
EON Space Labs' MIRA captures imagery across multiple spectral bands, making it suitable for agriculture, mining, marine monitoring, supply chains, and insurance applications. The startups aim to build a six-satellite constellation, with larger Gen-2 satellites expected in 2027, offering enhanced storage and computing capabilities.
SatLeo Labs' TAPAS-1, built by SatLeo Labs, flew aboard Dhruva Space's LEAP-2 satellite, testing its thermal sensing and processing capabilities in orbit.
