Grahaa Space (Akshath Aerospace)

Grahaa Space (operated by Akshath Aerospace) is on a mission to provide near real-time geospatial video data from low Earth orbit through an advanced constellation of Earth observation nanosatellites, delivered on demand. The company's journey began with inspiration drawn from NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment, which demonstrated real-time video streaming from space and inspired the founders to pursue a new era of Earth observation built on nanosatellite constellations.

The company develops a proprietary modular, stackable satellite bus designed to cut integration time, reduce mission cost, and scale from a single demonstrator to a full constellation. Onboard processing captures, compresses, and streams video from orbit, with AI-driven object detection and analytics turning raw sensor data into actionable insight before it reaches the customer. An interconnected nanosatellite constellation is intended to deliver higher revisit rates, wider coverage, and near-continuous monitoring with built-in redundancy.

Grahaa Space offers satellite engineering services spanning mission requirement analysis, hardware development with embedded edge-compute and sensory platforms, launch and orbital deployment coordination through local and global partners, and ground segment / data acquisition systems designed to minimize downlink latency. Its data and analytics are aimed at defence, disaster response, agriculture, and enterprise customers, accessible via secure APIs for tasking satellites, streaming video, and consuming analytics.

Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, the company partners with regional space ecosystem organizations including IN-SPACe, ISRO-linked incubators, and Startup Karnataka on its mission and hosted payload programs.
