Grahaa Space Aims To Build An “Eye In The Sky” With Earth-Observation Satellite Constellation
What if satellites could stream near-real-time video of the Earth’s surface? Chennai-based Grahaa Space is working towards making this possible by developing a constellation of Earth-observation nanosatellites. During his interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, co-founder and CEO Ramesh Kumar showcased the startup’s satellite technology, communication systems and journey so far.
The journey has included both setbacks and milestones. After its first launch attempt from Brazil ended in failure in December 2025, Grahaa Space successfully deployed its SOLARAS satellite into low Earth orbit in July 2026 aboard Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 rocket. The company is now developing a proprietary modular satellite platform aimed at delivering near-real-time geospatial video data, contributing to India's growing private space ecosystem.
