New Delhi: Do you want satellite images of your backyard? This may soon be possible as Bengaluru-based space startup Pixxel plans to launch an online software that will let you view photos of the Earth taken by its satellites.Aurora Studios could launch by the end of the year
Pixel Space CEO and co-founder Awais Ahmed said that launching the Earth Observation Studio is part of the efforts to make space-based data accessible to the common man at a very low cost. Pixel's Earth Observation Studio 'Aurora' can be launched by the end of this year, which will make satellite-based earth images and data analysis accessible to everyone.
'Studio will be easier to use'
Ahmed said, 'It will be as easy as using 'Google Earth' but the images taken from the satellite will be much more advanced.' Ahmed is one of the few entrepreneurs who are doing remarkable work in the space sector. Users of 'Aurora' can see the images taken from the satellites already available in the database or assign the task of 'taking a specific picture' to the Pixel satellite orbiting in the low orbit of the Earth.

You will receive the photo as soon as you make the payment.
“Suppose I need an image of Chikkamagaluru in the next one or two weeks. This task will be assigned to our satellite and once you pay for it, they will provide you the image,” Ahmed said. Pixxel has launched two satellites – Shakuntala and Anand – to capture Earth images. It plans to launch six satellites by this year. The startup plans to launch 18 more satellites next year.
