TSAT-1A

TSAT-1A is an sub-metre resolution earth observation satellite built by TATA Advanced Systems Limited in collaboration with Satellogic. It was launched on the SpaceX Falcon 9 Bandwagon-1 mission. It is India's first-ever military-grade geospatial satellite built entirely by the private sector.

In November 2023, TASL and Satellogic had inked a pact to develop and integrate an advanced earth observation satellite.

Once operational, TSAT-1A is expected to cater primarily to the government and armed forces, offering high-resolution military-grade imagery. According to media reports, although the primary customers will be the government and armed forces, the company will also target commercial customers. TASL intends to establish a constellation of similar satellites in the future, with its manufacturing facility primed to produce up to 25 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites annually.
