A Bengaluru-based space-technology start-up “Pixxel” will launch its first remote-sensing satellite on Isro’s workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket in early 2021.
The startup had earlier planned to launch this satellite towards the end of 2020 on a Russian Soyuz rocket.
Pixxel aims to put a constellation of 30 earth observation micro-satellites into a sun-synchronous orbit by mid-2023.
