Pixxel

Indian Hyperspectral giant Pixxel yesterday finally inaugurated their much-awaited 30,000 sq ft Spacecraft Manufacturing Facility in Bengaluru—which would be crucial for manufacturing assembly, integration, and testing of their upcoming Firefly and Honeybee constellation satellites.

The facility will ensure a process from concept to launch, providing space for 20-25 smaller satellites simultaneously.

The space is uniquely designed, with two modern clean rooms of ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 that safeguard against contaminants that could impair satellite functionality during the satellite assembly and integration process. 

Additionally, it houses labs for advanced camera integration, electronics R&D, and electrical assembly; along with a mechanical workshop, a mission control room, and an office space that currently hosts 140-150 people, but has the capacity for 200.

The existing facility is a significant departure from what Awais Ahmed, Co-founder and CEO, described as a clique of four from BITS Pilani working out of their dorm.

Thanks to the team at Pixxel (Neerja Shah) for the cool experience. It was also great conversing with CTO Kshitij Khandelwal and picking his brains.

"MegaPixxel" - Pixxel's new spacecraft manufacturing facility which will bolster our mission to build a health monitor for the planet. By increasing our capacity to build more satellites, we will deliver even more critical data to our customers faster so they can make informed decisions and address the needs of key industries such as agriculture, energy, forestry, and environmental monitoring.

Celebrating a momentous day as Shri S Somanath, Chairman of ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization, inaugurated our new Spacecraft AIT facility in Bengaluru. A heartfelt thanks to our robust ecosystem whose unwavering support has been instrumental in helping us attain this milestone.

🚀✨ Breaking new grounds in space!

We’re excited to announce “MegaPixxel” - our first Spacecraft Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) facility in Bengaluru! Graced by the presence of Shri S Somanath, Chairman of ISRO, this new 30,000 sq ft facility represents the next step in our journey towards building a health monitor for the planet.

As we near our fifth year since inception, we’re more ambitious than ever — determined to aim higher, dream bigger and continue to reshape the future of space technology! A massive thank you to our industry stakeholders and investors for making this possible.

Here's to exploring new frontiers — literally and figuratively! 🌎
