Bengaluru-based SatSure has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hyderabad's Dhruva Space to establish a comprehensive Earth Observation-as-a-Service (EOaaS) offering, combining both companies' full-stack capabilities across the satellite ecosystem. This alliance leverages homegrown technologies to support strategic and commercial sectors with high-reliability, end-to-end solutions.
The collaboration integrates SatSure subsidiary KaleidEO's advanced analytics with Dhruva Space's expertise in small satellite platforms, subsystems, and launch infrastructure. The partnership aims to serve growing global demand for space-based intelligence through streamlined, indigenous development from payload to mission operations.
"We are very excited to be joining forces with Dhruva Space, which will enable us both to harness the best of Indian ingenuity and technological prowess. This partnership is poised to boost our sovereign EO capabilities and create a complete package for end customers who need both high-quality data and end-to-end solutions," said SatSure CEO Prateep Basu.
Dhruva Space CEO Sanjay Nekkanti added, "This collaboration with SatSure marks a significant step in building a vertically integrated, sovereign Space ecosystem - one that bridges satellite platform development with actionable intelligence. By leveraging Dhruva Space's end-to-end capabilities spanning satellite platform development, launch integration, and ground segment infrastructure, in conjunction with KaleidEO's cutting-edge Earth Observation payloads and analytics stack, this collaboration is poised to significantly optimise mission timelines and deliver actionable insights for critical applications across both very critical sectors."
SatSure's KaleidEO, launched in 2022, has developed high-resolution optical and multi-spectral payloads, continuing the company's drive to extend space technologies to non-traditional users. Meanwhile, Dhruva Space is scaling operations with a 280,000 square-foot spacecraft manufacturing hub in Hyderabad-India's first facility capable of handling complete spacecraft builds up to 500 kg-further reinforcing the alliance's end-to-end mission readiness.
This joint effort is designed to accelerate delivery timelines and enhance the quality and accessibility of Earth Observation data across a variety of industries.
