Our Core Values
Mission-Driven Excellence
Holding Ourselves & Each Other Accountable
Being mission driven, a true partner, and customer focused means that we put our customer’s mission and business objectives at the forefront of all that we do. We work hard to understand their requirements and we react quickly when we see opportunities to better meet their objectives.
Relentless Resolve to Prevail
Perseverance in Action
When Capella first started, people said "it can't be done” but we did it. When the Denali approach wasn't working, we rallied, and made it happen. When one satellite launch failed, we rallied and built more satellites to launch the next year. When the industry took a turn for the worst, we pivoted and managed to stay in the game. When external factors out of our control make things difficult, we pivot, and leverage what we do best. We have a Relentless Revolve to Prevail, together as one team.
Humble Collaboration
Solving Problems as ONE Team
Here at Capella we work on very hard problems. When things don’t work out, we fail forward. Instead of pointing fingers, we put our focus on fixing issues and making our systems and teams resilient. We humble ourselves when faced with adversity and bring no ego in finding the right solution. Collaboration is at the heart of teamwork. We are one team, supporting each other and focused on our mission.
Innovative Curiosity
Fearlessly Breaking Boundaries
When we started Capella, we were in continue learning-mode. We were small, working at the bleeding edge of very complex technologies, and opening new markets as we went. Learning together, and teaching each other, was critical to our success. This quest for collaboration and knowledge continues at Capella today. We propose, debate, and try new ideas in all aspects of the business, and in turn, we push ourselves and our competitors to move the boundary of what is possible. Learning together means growing together.
