Monsoon early warning. Minutes, not days.

A dedicated micro-constellation for monsoon and cyclone-genesis tracking across the Bay of Bengal, processed in-country and shared with civil defence within minutes of overpass.

The program

What we run.

The Bay of Bengal cyclone-genesis tracking constellation entered routine operations in 2024. The micro-constellation revisits the bay multiple times per day with optical, SAR and microwave sensors tuned for early identification of cyclonic-rotation signatures and rainfall-band structure.

The defining feature is the latency budget: imagery is downlinked, processed and pushed to civil-defence operations centres within minutes of overpass — fast enough to feed the evacuation decisions that save lives along the eastern Indian coast and across the Bay's rim.

The programme deep-dive — instrument list, partner credits and case study from the 2025 cyclone season — will be added to this page in due course.
