Missions

EOS-N1:
This is a rideshare mission. The primary satellite, EOS-N1 (codenamed Anvesha), is a hyperspectral imaging satellite developed largely for the DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation). It is capable of "seeing" in hundreds of wavelengths to identify materials on the ground—making it a high-priority asset for national security and surveillance.
KID & Others:
18 secondary payloads, including KID (Kestrel Initial Demonstrator), which is a small re-entry capsule from a European/Spanish startup (Orbital Paradigm) attempting a survivable atmospheric re-entry and various CubeSats from Indian startups and universities.
