About

Dhruva Space is a full-stack space engineering company based in Hyderabad, India, founded in 2012. The company designs and manufactures satellite platforms ranging from CubeSats to microsatellites up to 500 kg, produces satellite orbital deployers (DSOD series), and operates a global ground station network spanning 13 stations across 10 countries. Its satellite product line includes the P-DoT CubeSat bus, the P-30 NanoSat platform, and the upcoming P-Nu MicroSat.

The company's LEAP hosted payload programme provides end-to-end mission services from payload integration through launch coordination and ground segment operations. Dhruva Space launched its first commercial mission, LEAP-1, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in August 2025, hosting AI and hyperspectral imaging payloads. The company also manufactures spacecraft solar arrays and provides spectrum monitoring services. Dhruva Space was awarded a contract as part of India's first private Earth observation constellation under the IN-SPACe EO-PPP programme.
