Defence tech startup Sisir Radar is making headlines with its ambitious plan to launch India’s first private L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite by 2026.
Led by a former ISRO scientist, the company aims to revolutionize the space sector with indigenous design and engineering.
The new satellite promises to deliver high-resolution, all-weather imagery crucial for national security, disaster management, and urban planning.
Unlike traditional optical satellites, this advanced SAR technology can capture clear images through dense clouds, foliage, and complete darkness, setting a new benchmark for private space enterprises.
Having secured $7 million in Series A funding, Sisir Radar is moving from prototypes to full-scale orbital missions.
The startup claims its technology rivals that of major global space agencies, positioning India as a key player in the commercial satellite market.
