Pixxel is a young aerospace startup from India, Asia’s only space startup to qualify for the 2019 Techstars Starburst Space Accelerator in Los Angeles. The company has announced that it will launch its satellite Anand aboard ISRO’s PSLV C51 Mission sometime in February 2021. Several organizations will be able to access the satellite to detect, monitor as well as predict global occurrences in real-time.
Anand won’t be the only Indian satellite aboard the PSLV C51. The payload consists of two more satellites including ‘SATISH SAT’ by ‘Space Kids India’, and ‘UNIT-SAT’ by a consortium of universities, as well as a Brazilian earth observation satellite named Amazonia.
