While this is a positive development, I hope there will be proper oversight on how this EO data is used. Privacy concerns need to be addressed as we move forward with more commercial space activities.

Great to see Indian companies making strides in space tech! Nibe seems to have a solid track record in defense manufacturing too. Hope they bring that same quality to space data services.

The article mentions GSD greater than 30cm - does this mean we won't get high-resolution images? That might limit some applications. Otherwise, good initiative!
