Overview

Capella Space provides earth observation data by collecting Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery from a rapidly scalable satellite constellation. It captures high-quality, frequent radar images to monitor small-scale surface movements across areas like ports, pipelines, fields, and oceans. Data is delivered through an intuitive self-serve platform that clients can access to integrate into their operations via APIs and standard formats. Compared to competitors, Capella Space emphasizes higher revisit frequency and faster delivery, enabled by its operational concept and scalable satellite network, prioritizing data quality and the customer experience. The company’s goal is to give timely, accurate information that helps clients manage risk, improve forecasts, monitor infrastructure, and support environmental decisions.
