Indian space startup Digantara launched the Space Camera for Object Tracking (SCOT) mission.
Digantara launched its SCOT satellite aboard SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission recently.
Mission SCOT is the world's first commercial Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellite.
It will monitor Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with improved efficiency.
It will ensure surveillance of objects as small as 5 cm orbiting the Earth to ensure safer space operations.
On the same day, Bengaluru-based Pixxel also launched its first three satellites of its Firefly constellation -- India's 1st private satellite constellation.
