Flight on PSLV-C62 forced even skeptics to recalibrate
EON Space Labs, founded in 2022, is closing India’s optical payload gap by designing lightweight EO and IR imaging systems. Its MIRA telescope—just 502 grams—flew on PSLV-C62 in Jan 2026, reducing dependence on imported optics with long lead times. The company is now scaling manufacturing with a planned Rs 120 crore facility and aiming for larger contracts and recurring upgrades.
- MIRA weighs 502 grams, reducing payload mass and potential launch costs

- EON is building systems end to end in-house instead of assembling imported parts
- A planned Rs 120 crore manufacturing facility targets lower sub-assembly costs
