“The biggest thing that the government can do through the Department of Space is putting out a very transparent and liberal space policy. It should be written in law that this is permissible, this is not permissible, this requires permission, and this is something that we can do freely. The second biggest thing that can be done is the government becoming a big provider of financial support,” Awais Ahmed<\/a>, founder of Pixxel, told ETSatcom in an interview.
He explained that the Central government can be a buyer of services that are being provided by spacetech companies, grants can be released, or investment can be done through sovereign bonds and underscored that the space policy needs to come soon.
The space policy will ensure the participation of private sector companies with a larger goal of attracting foreign investment which will boost the economy while generating employment opportunities. Its draft was released in 2020.
Pixxel meanwhile is on track to launch six hyperspectral satellites in the second half of 2023 followed by more launches which will take its complete constellation to 24 satellites, the exexutive said. The daily global coverage of the Earth is expected in 2024.
Pixxel’s satellite imagery is offered on a commercial basis to companies working in the agriculture, oil and gas, mining, and climate sectors. It has already signed working partnerships with mining company Rio Tinto and Australian agricultural software company DataFarming.
From an industry<\/a> perspective, Pixxel intends to capture a decent share of the satellite imagery and analysis market whose value Ahmed estimates to be $15-20 billion.
Pixxel will be focusing on the niche hyperspectral imaging segment for 2-3 years after which it will also shift its attention to technologies such as thermal imaging and association with space agencies like NASA for launching its imaging sensors to the Moon and to explore the solar system, the executive said.
On November 26, Pixxel will launch its third hyperspectral satellite – ‘Anand’ – onboard Isro’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The startup claims to have entirely designed and developed the satellite in-house.
Talking about challenges faced in the indigenous development of satellites, he said while several companies provide components to Isro, some specialized components such as ultra-high efficiency solar cells, high-density batteries and camera sensors are not being made locally. “But things like electronics, or avionics or software that all happens here.”

“Late-stage capital and large amounts of capital have to come from somewhere and India doesn't have risk-takers at that level to provide capital,” Ahmed commented on the issue of funding. “So it has to come from the outside.”
“But thankfully, there's a lot of options now. There are at least 10 to 15 space startups that have been seed funded.”
Earlier in 2022, Pixxel raised $25 million in Series-A funding led by Canada’s Radical Ventures – the second highest after Skyroot Aerospace’s funding of $51 million led by Singapore-based GIC. Pixxel in August, then, received an undisclosed strategic investment by IT services firm Accenture.
As per Crunchbase data, Pixxel has raised $33 million in funding to date. The founder affirmed that Pixxel is fully-funded for satellite launches that will take place next year.

自由空间政策,从政府财政援助可以支持印度spacetech初创公司的增长:Pixxel
“最大的事情,政府可以通过推出一个非常透明的空间和自由空间政策。应该写在法律,这是允许的,这是不允许的,这需要权限,这是我们可以做的事情。第二大的事情可以做政府正在成为一个巨大的提供金融支持,“Pixxel创始人Awais艾哈迈德告诉ETSatcom在接受采访时说。< / p >
Pixxel Awais Ahmed,创始人兼首席执行官。
新德里:一个自由的空间政策和金融援助从政府通过各种途径可以提供急需的支持空间技术创业公司在印度,一位高管高光谱卫星公司Pixxel说,政府也应该看看提供激励措施类似于根据激励计划(PLI)创业的空间和简化进出口规范非关键空间分量来提高本地制造。
“最大的事情,政府可以通过推出一个非常透明的空间和自由空间政策。应该写在法律,这是允许的,这是不允许的,这需要权限,这是我们可以做的事情。第二大的事情可以做政府正在成为一个巨大的提供金融支持,”Awais艾哈迈德的创始人Pixxel告诉ETSatcom在接受采访时说。
他解释说,中央政府可以买家spacetech公司,提供的服务,被授予可以释放,可以通过主权债券或投资,强调空间政策需要。
空间政策将确保私营企业的参与和吸引外资的一个更大的目标将刺激经济,创造就业机会。其草案在2020年被释放。
Pixxel同时有望在2023年下半年推出六高光谱卫星紧随其后的是更多的发射将其完整的24卫星星座,exexutive说。地球的每日覆盖全球预计在2024年。
Pixxel卫星图像是在商业的基础上提出企业在农业、石油和天然气、采矿、和气候领域。它已经签署了工作上的合作伙伴,澳大利亚矿业公司力拓(Rio Tinto)和农业软件公司DataFarming。
从一个行业角度来看,Pixxel打算捕获一个像样的卫星图像和分析市场的份额,其价值Ahmed估计15 - 20美元。
Pixxel将专注于细分光谱成像部分2 - 3年之后,它还将其注意力转向技术,如热成像和协会与像美国宇航局航天机构推出成像传感器到月球和探索太阳系,高管表示。
Pixxel 11月26日将启动第三高光谱卫星——“Anand”机载Isro的极地卫星运载火箭(PSLV)。启动宣称已经完全设计和开发卫星内部。
讨论所面临的挑战的卫星的自主发展,他说,虽然有几家公司提供组件Isro,一些专门的组件(如超高效率的太阳能电池,高密度电池和相机传感器不是由本地生产的。“但是诸如电子、航空电子设备或软件,都发生在这里。”
“晚期资本和大量的资本必须来自某处和印度没有冒险者水平提供资本,”艾哈迈德评论资金的问题。“所以它来自外面的。”
“但值得庆幸的是,现在有很多的选择。至少有10到15空间创业种子基金。”
在2022年早些时候,Pixxel在首轮募集了2500万美元资金由加拿大的激进的企业——第二高后Skyroot航空由新加坡的新加坡政府投资公司5100万美元的资金。Pixxel 8月,收到一个秘密战略投资服务公司埃森哲。
根据Crunchbase实际上数据,Pixxel已经筹集了3300万美元资金。创始人Pixxel肯定是资助的卫星发射将在明年举行。
Awais Ahmed, Founder and CEO, Pixxel. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: A liberal space policy and financial assistance from the government through various means can provide much-needed support to the space technology<\/a> startups in India, a top executive of hyperspectral satellite<\/a> firm Pixxel<\/a> said, adding that the government should also look at offering incentives similar to the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to startups in the space along with making import and export norms easier for non-critical space components to boost local manufacturing.

自由空间政策,从政府财政援助可以支持印度spacetech初创公司的增长:Pixxel
“最大的事情,政府可以通过推出一个非常透明的空间和自由空间政策。应该写在法律,这是允许的,这是不允许的,这需要权限,这是我们可以做的事情。第二大的事情可以做政府正在成为一个巨大的提供金融支持,“Pixxel创始人Awais艾哈迈德告诉ETSatcom在接受采访时说。< / p >
Pixxel Awais Ahmed,创始人兼首席执行官。
新德里:一个自由的空间政策和金融援助从政府通过各种途径可以提供急需的支持空间技术创业公司在印度,一位高管高光谱卫星公司Pixxel说,政府也应该看看提供激励措施类似于根据激励计划(PLI)创业的空间和简化进出口规范非关键空间分量来提高本地制造。
“最大的事情,政府可以通过推出一个非常透明的空间和自由空间政策。应该写在法律,这是允许的,这是不允许的,这需要权限,这是我们可以做的事情。第二大的事情可以做政府正在成为一个巨大的提供金融支持,”Awais艾哈迈德的创始人Pixxel告诉ETSatcom在接受采访时说。
他解释说,中央政府可以买家spacetech公司,提供的服务,被授予可以释放,可以通过主权债券或投资,强调空间政策需要。
空间政策将确保私营企业的参与和吸引外资的一个更大的目标将刺激经济,创造就业机会。其草案在2020年被释放。
Pixxel同时有望在2023年下半年推出六高光谱卫星紧随其后的是更多的发射将其完整的24卫星星座,exexutive说。地球的每日覆盖全球预计在2024年。
Pixxel卫星图像是在商业的基础上提出企业在农业、石油和天然气、采矿、和气候领域。它已经签署了工作上的合作伙伴,澳大利亚矿业公司力拓(Rio Tinto)和农业软件公司DataFarming。
从一个行业角度来看,Pixxel打算捕获一个像样的卫星图像和分析市场的份额,其价值Ahmed估计15 - 20美元。
Pixxel将专注于细分光谱成像部分2 - 3年之后,它还将其注意力转向技术,如热成像和协会与像美国宇航局航天机构推出成像传感器到月球和探索太阳系,高管表示。
Pixxel 11月26日将启动第三高光谱卫星——“Anand”机载Isro的极地卫星运载火箭(PSLV)。启动宣称已经完全设计和开发卫星内部。
讨论所面临的挑战的卫星的自主发展,他说,虽然有几家公司提供组件Isro,一些专门的组件(如超高效率的太阳能电池,高密度电池和相机传感器不是由本地生产的。“但是诸如电子、航空电子设备或软件,都发生在这里。”
“晚期资本和大量的资本必须来自某处和印度没有冒险者水平提供资本,”艾哈迈德评论资金的问题。“所以它来自外面的。”
“但值得庆幸的是,现在有很多的选择。至少有10到15空间创业种子基金。”
在2022年早些时候,Pixxel在首轮募集了2500万美元资金由加拿大的激进的企业——第二高后Skyroot航空由新加坡的新加坡政府投资公司5100万美元的资金。Pixxel 8月,收到一个秘密战略投资服务公司埃森哲。
根据Crunchbase实际上数据,Pixxel已经筹集了3300万美元资金。创始人Pixxel肯定是资助的卫星发射将在明年举行。
Awais Ahmed, Founder and CEO, Pixxel. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: A liberal space policy and financial assistance from the government through various means can provide much-needed support to the space technology<\/a> startups in India, a top executive of hyperspectral satellite<\/a> firm Pixxel<\/a> said, adding that the government should also look at offering incentives similar to the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to startups in the space along with making import and export norms easier for non-critical space components to boost local manufacturing.
“The biggest thing that the government can do through the Department of Space is putting out a very transparent and liberal space policy. It should be written in law that this is permissible, this is not permissible, this requires permission, and this is something that we can do freely. The second biggest thing that can be done is the government becoming a big provider of financial support,” Awais Ahmed<\/a>, founder of Pixxel, told ETSatcom in an interview.
He explained that the Central government can be a buyer of services that are being provided by spacetech companies, grants can be released, or investment can be done through sovereign bonds and underscored that the space policy needs to come soon.
The space policy will ensure the participation of private sector companies with a larger goal of attracting foreign investment which will boost the economy while generating employment opportunities. Its draft was released in 2020.
Pixxel meanwhile is on track to launch six hyperspectral satellites in the second half of 2023 followed by more launches which will take its complete constellation to 24 satellites, the exexutive said. The daily global coverage of the Earth is expected in 2024.
Pixxel’s satellite imagery is offered on a commercial basis to companies working in the agriculture, oil and gas, mining, and climate sectors. It has already signed working partnerships with mining company Rio Tinto and Australian agricultural software company DataFarming.
From an industry<\/a> perspective, Pixxel intends to capture a decent share of the satellite imagery and analysis market whose value Ahmed estimates to be $15-20 billion.
Pixxel will be focusing on the niche hyperspectral imaging segment for 2-3 years after which it will also shift its attention to technologies such as thermal imaging and association with space agencies like NASA for launching its imaging sensors to the Moon and to explore the solar system, the executive said.
On November 26, Pixxel will launch its third hyperspectral satellite – ‘Anand’ – onboard Isro’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The startup claims to have entirely designed and developed the satellite in-house.
Talking about challenges faced in the indigenous development of satellites, he said while several companies provide components to Isro, some specialized components such as ultra-high efficiency solar cells, high-density batteries and camera sensors are not being made locally. “But things like electronics, or avionics or software that all happens here.”

“Late-stage capital and large amounts of capital have to come from somewhere and India doesn't have risk-takers at that level to provide capital,” Ahmed commented on the issue of funding. “So it has to come from the outside.”
“But thankfully, there's a lot of options now. There are at least 10 to 15 space startups that have been seed funded.”
Earlier in 2022, Pixxel raised $25 million in Series-A funding led by Canada’s Radical Ventures – the second highest after Skyroot Aerospace’s funding of $51 million led by Singapore-based GIC. Pixxel in August, then, received an undisclosed strategic investment by IT services firm Accenture.
As per Crunchbase data, Pixxel has raised $33 million in funding to date. The founder affirmed that Pixxel is fully-funded for satellite launches that will take place next year.

Awais Ahmed, Founder and CEO, Pixxel. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: A liberal space policy and financial assistance from the government through various means can provide much-needed support to the space technology<\/a> startups in India, a top executive of hyperspectral satellite<\/a> firm Pixxel<\/a> said, adding that the government should also look at offering incentives similar to the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to startups in the space along with making import and export norms easier for non-critical space components to boost local manufacturing.
“The biggest thing that the government can do through the Department of Space is putting out a very transparent and liberal space policy. It should be written in law that this is permissible, this is not permissible, this requires permission, and this is something that we can do freely. The second biggest thing that can be done is the government becoming a big provider of financial support,” Awais Ahmed<\/a>, founder of Pixxel, told ETSatcom in an interview.
He explained that the Central government can be a buyer of services that are being provided by spacetech companies, grants can be released, or investment can be done through sovereign bonds and underscored that the space policy needs to come soon.
The space policy will ensure the participation of private sector companies with a larger goal of attracting foreign investment which will boost the economy while generating employment opportunities. Its draft was released in 2020.
Pixxel meanwhile is on track to launch six hyperspectral satellites in the second half of 2023 followed by more launches which will take its complete constellation to 24 satellites, the exexutive said. The daily global coverage of the Earth is expected in 2024.
Pixxel’s satellite imagery is offered on a commercial basis to companies working in the agriculture, oil and gas, mining, and climate sectors. It has already signed working partnerships with mining company Rio Tinto and Australian agricultural software company DataFarming.
From an industry<\/a> perspective, Pixxel intends to capture a decent share of the satellite imagery and analysis market whose value Ahmed estimates to be $15-20 billion.
Pixxel will be focusing on the niche hyperspectral imaging segment for 2-3 years after which it will also shift its attention to technologies such as thermal imaging and association with space agencies like NASA for launching its imaging sensors to the Moon and to explore the solar system, the executive said.
On November 26, Pixxel will launch its third hyperspectral satellite – ‘Anand’ – onboard Isro’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The startup claims to have entirely designed and developed the satellite in-house.
Talking about challenges faced in the indigenous development of satellites, he said while several companies provide components to Isro, some specialized components such as ultra-high efficiency solar cells, high-density batteries and camera sensors are not being made locally. “But things like electronics, or avionics or software that all happens here.”

“Late-stage capital and large amounts of capital have to come from somewhere and India doesn't have risk-takers at that level to provide capital,” Ahmed commented on the issue of funding. “So it has to come from the outside.”
“But thankfully, there's a lot of options now. There are at least 10 to 15 space startups that have been seed funded.”
Earlier in 2022, Pixxel raised $25 million in Series-A funding led by Canada’s Radical Ventures – the second highest after Skyroot Aerospace’s funding of $51 million led by Singapore-based GIC. Pixxel in August, then, received an undisclosed strategic investment by IT services firm Accenture.
As per Crunchbase data, Pixxel has raised $33 million in funding to date. The founder affirmed that Pixxel is fully-funded for satellite launches that will take place next year.

“最大的事情,政府可以通过推出一个非常透明的空间和自由空间政策。应该写在法律,这是允许的,这是不允许的,这需要权限,这是我们可以做的事情。第二大的事情可以做政府正在成为一个巨大的提供金融支持,”Awais艾哈迈德的创始人Pixxel告诉ETSatcom在接受采访时说。
他解释说,中央政府可以买家spacetech公司,提供的服务,被授予可以释放,可以通过主权债券或投资,强调空间政策需要。
空间政策将确保私营企业的参与和吸引外资的一个更大的目标将刺激经济,创造就业机会。其草案在2020年被释放。
Pixxel同时有望在2023年下半年推出六高光谱卫星紧随其后的是更多的发射将其完整的24卫星星座,exexutive说。地球的每日覆盖全球预计在2024年。
Pixxel卫星图像是在商业的基础上提出企业在农业、石油和天然气、采矿、和气候领域。它已经签署了工作上的合作伙伴,澳大利亚矿业公司力拓(Rio Tinto)和农业软件公司DataFarming。
从一个行业角度来看,Pixxel打算捕获一个像样的卫星图像和分析市场的份额,其价值Ahmed估计15 - 20美元。
Pixxel将专注于细分光谱成像部分2 - 3年之后,它还将其注意力转向技术,如热成像和协会与像美国宇航局航天机构推出成像传感器到月球和探索太阳系,高管表示。
Pixxel 11月26日将启动第三高光谱卫星——“Anand”机载Isro的极地卫星运载火箭(PSLV)。启动宣称已经完全设计和开发卫星内部。
讨论所面临的挑战的卫星的自主发展,他说,虽然有几家公司提供组件Isro,一些专门的组件(如超高效率的太阳能电池,高密度电池和相机传感器不是由本地生产的。“但是诸如电子、航空电子设备或软件,都发生在这里。”
