SatLeo Labs launches TAPAS-1 thermal-imaging satellite

Ahmedabad-based spacetech startup SatLeo Labs launched its thermal-imaging satellite, TAPAS-1, in October 2026. The three-kilogram payload was carried aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket under the Transporter-18 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The satellite was deployed using Dhruva Space’s LEAP-2 platform. TAPAS-1 is described as India’s first dedicated commercial CubeSat-category thermal payload. It is designed to operate in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 500 kilometres and will use a long-wave infrared sensor to map surface temperatures from space. The mission signals growing private participation in India’s space sector and may influence future remote-sensing services for agriculture, mining, and urban planning.
