Mission Drishti, world’s first OptoSAR satellite from private Indian company, loses communication after solar storm

Mission Drishti was launched on May 3, 2026 aboard a Falcon 9 by SpaceX from Vandenberg, California

Mission Drishti, the world’s first OptoSAR satellite developed by Bengaluru-based space start-up GalaxEye, which was launched in May, encountered an anomaly following a geomagnetic solar storm during the final stage of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP). Mission Drishti is also India’s largest privately developed Earth observation satellite. On July 7, GalaxEye provided an update on the mission.

“In the final stage of LEOP, the maiden spacecraft encountered an anomaly following a geomagnetic solar storm. Initial root cause analysis indicates that radiation effects associated with the event likely impacted a critical onboard system,” the company informed.

Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project: India’s largest rail tunnel boring machine starts excavation The Mumbai- Ahmedabad Bullet Train project reached another major milestone on Sunday as India’s largest rail tunnel boring machine (TBM) began excavating the underground tunnel beneath Mumbai, a key section of India’s first high-speed rail (HSR) corridor. The TBM launched from Vikhroli will excavate a 6-km-long single-tube tunnel designed to accommodate both the up and down tracks of the bullet train.

According to the NHSRCL, the tunnel boring machine (TBM) is among the largest ever deployed for rail tunnel construction in the country. It features a 13.6-metre-diameter cutterhead- equivalent to the height of a four-storey building- weighs about 3,100 tonnes, roughly the weight of 500 Asian elephants, and measures 96 metres in length, nearly the length of a football field.
