Our Mission
Our mission is to make timely Earth observation an essential tool for commerce, conservation, and well-being. A world that shares a richer understanding of life on our planet will be a better place to live; we contribute to that knowledge by documenting change across the globe in entirely new and powerful ways.
Our Values
Honesty & Integrity
We do the right thing, even if it is harder. We put our egos aside and seek what is best for Capella as a whole. We are transparent, direct, honest, and don’t hide our opinions.
Quality
We are thoughtful and detailed in our work. We don’t cut corners. We are commitment to be the best in what we do. And we expect that quality not only in our products but also in our work internally.
Aim High & Bold
We take risks and challenge complacency, mediocrity, and decisions that don’t make sense. We learn from others, write our own rules, and strive to be a pioneer in our industry.
Community
We care about the success and well-being of our fellow team members. We solve problems and help each other along the way. We engage in constructive interactions and embrace diverse people, backgrounds, cultures, and opinions.
Continued Growth
We are a learning organization and constantly seek to improve. We aren’t embarrassed by our mistakes. We communicate and learn from them so we grow.
Creativity
We think outside the box to come up with creative solutions to any problem we encounter. We challenge the status quo, and we are not afraid to be called delusional for it.
Accountability
We are all owners, and therefore accountable for our projects. We are all leaders, and take responsibility in what we do.
Why We’re Different
The advent of commercial space has created a wealth of information from a new generation of low Earth Orbit satellites. Capella Space is the first U.S. company to bring that data back to Earth to help humanity obtain a clear and accurate picture of the planet with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
Offering New Perspectives
Capella offers a view of the big picture — one that transcends the elements of weather and the darkness of night.
Boldness in our DNA
We aim high and with that ethos deliver the highest resolution SAR imagery to ever be made commercially available.
Differentiated Innovation
We’re not the first to use SAR, but we’ve shrunk the technology tenfold to make it faster, more powerful, and affordable for the world’s decision makers.
