Why SAR?

The Benefits of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

Capella’s constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provides 24-hour all-weather Earth observation. What makes SAR unique is its ability to penetrate atmospheric conditions, providing near real-time visibility in cloud covered areas, both day and night.

Capella Space’s commercial SAR technology offers many advantages that traditional earth observation sensors cannot provide.

24/7 All-Weather Monitoring

SAR sensors are self-illuminating and can penetrate clouds, fog, smog, darkness and smoke. Operated from low Earth orbit, Capella’s SAR systems can reliably collect images in all-weather conditions both night and day.

Precise High-Resolution Imagery

Capella’s SAR satellites capture sub-half-meter scale features and changes with high accuracy. This produces SAR imagery products with incredible detail and clarity.

Timely Responsive Delivery

High-cadence revisit timeframes and a partnership with AWS enables Capella SAR data delivery in a timely manner. Users benefit from the most recent data in a secure delivery system.

SAR Enables Industry Use Cases

Capella’s innovative small satellite design and rapid manufacturing-to-launch deployment gives our constellation a high-cadence revisit to effectively monitor the entire globe and give decision-makers the information they need on the Earth.

SAR’s unique capabilities benefit a wide variety of applications including:
