Part 9/12:
PRP prouds himself on spearheading hardware innovations in space. He notes the disruptive entry of small, low-cost satellites—such as those developed following India’s 100 satellite launch—powered by miniaturized cameras modeled after consumer electronics.
Sature is now deploying four micro-satellites with a 1-meter resolution imaging capability, promising daily global coverage. This hardware-software synergy enables faster, more frequent data collection, reducing costs, and unlocking new opportunities for real-time Earth monitoring.
He emphasizes that true innovation occurs at the intersection of hardware and software—the fusion akin to Steve Jobs' philosophy—disrupting the status quo of expensive, large satellites with more affordable, scalable solutions.
