Overview

Capella builds advanced SAR satellites to unlock global insight, using radar signals that penetrate atmospheric conditions to provide all-weather, day-and-night visibility. Its commercial SAR capabilities include 24/7 monitoring of critical areas and the ability to track changes over time. The company operates a next-generation SAR constellation and offers high-resolution SAR data with sub-0.25 m resolution, revisit times under 3 hours over key regions, and a fully automated tasking platform. Capella also designs, builds, launches, and operates space systems, delivering end-to-end solutions and in-house space hardware.

History

Capella builds advanced SAR satellites to unlock global insight. Unlike traditional optical satellites, which are hindered by cloud cover and light conditions, SAR technology uses radar signals to penetrate atmospheric conditions, providing near real-time, all-weather visibility both day and night. Capella's commercial SAR capabilities offer 24/7 monitoring of critical areas and the ability to track changes over time. The company operates a next-generation SAR constellation and has been commercial since 2020, with a mission-proven constellation featuring vertically integrated design, manufacturing, and operations. Capella designs, builds, launches, and operates space systems, delivering end-to-end solutions and in-house space hardware.
