Space start-up GalaxEye has unveiled a high resolution aerial drone-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system. The cutting edge system can perform exceptionally detailed and high resolution all-weather imaging, even amidst rainy or cloudy conditions, GalaxEye said in a statement here. The in-house developed data fusion technology will deliver unprecedented insights and data from space, empowering satellite constellations to conduct all-weather imaging without succumbing to the atmospheric hindrances that plague current single-sensor satellites, it said. "This forward technology opens doors for generating highly detailed images through a compact satellite constellation. Upon achieving full operational capacity, this constellation will achieve global coverage within a 12-hour time frame," the start-up said. The capability of constant all-weather, all-time imaging, combined with precise object geometry analysis, holds immense value across diverse sectors such as insurance, precision

Winged drones will only be allowed to fly 11-12 hours a day and they must be piloted, rather than fully automated
