GalaxEye Acquires StarOps to Enhance Satellite Engineering Capabilities
GalaxEye has acquired Bengaluru-based StarOps, integrating spacecraft engineering expertise and indigenous technologies. This acquisition positions GalaxEye to strengthen its capabilities in Earth Observation satellite development and enhance vertical integration in the satellite manufacturing process.

GalaxEye's acquisition of StarOps consolidates spacecraft engineering resources, adding expertise in systems engineering, propulsion, and avionics. The integration includes access to satellite bus platforms across 50 kg, 150 kg, and 250 kg classes, with over 66% of systems indigenized.
This strategic move aims to accelerate product development and reduce reliance on external suppliers, potentially leading to improved design control and operational efficiency. The merger aligns with India's policy allowing up to 100% foreign direct investment in the space sector, indicating a conducive environment for growth in indigenous satellite capabilities.
