Proven in Orbit. Ready for What’s Next.
SPACE MISSION SOLUTIONS
Your Mission. Full Stack Execution.
Bring us your mission and we'll build the system to get you there. From mission modeling and CONOPS through constellation design, ground architecture, launch integration, and on-orbit operations, every step meets your mission outcomes. With vertically integrated engineering, manufacturing, and launch coordination across multiple launch providers, you get a mission-ready system delivered from concept to orbit in months, not years.

SPACE HARDWARE SOLUTIONS
Built In-House. Proven On-Orbit.
Capella designs and manufactures high-performance space hardware entirely in-house — the same components powering our own constellation today. From modular subsystems to full spacecraft builds, our hardware is built to the highest standards and refined through mission operations. If you're building a satellite or constellation, talk to us about how we can support your mission.
SAR SATELLITE SOLUTIONS
Mission-Ready SAR Constellations
Capella’s Acadia-class satellites deliver best-in-class SAR performance, with 600 MHz bandwidth, extended imaging time per orbit, and significantly higher collection capacity than typical commercial systems. Deploy your own SAR constellation or partner with Capella for a fully integrated solution, backed by proven heritage, scalable architecture, and end-to-end mission execution from design through operations.

FAQ
Ask us anything
Can Capella Build And Operate A Fully Sovereign System For My Organization?
Yes. Capella can deliver custom satellites and space systems built and operated to mission specifications. We can customize the spacecraft bus, payload configuration, ConOps, ground infrastructure, encryption and key handling, data interfaces, operational playbooks, and more. Operation management can be customized or Capella-managed based on your requirements.
What's The Timeline From Contract To Operational Capability?
Capella's vertically integrated design and manufacturing enables deployment from concept to orbit in months. Our in-house capabilities across spacecraft design, payload integration, and ground systems allow for rapid iteration and fast delivery timelines.
What Revisit Rates And Coverage Can My Constellation Achieve?
Customer-owned constellations can be configured with sun-synchronous (SSO) and mid-inclination (MIO) orbits enabling multiple revisits per day globally. Our extended duty cycle technology provides up to 10 minutes of imaging per orbit, delivering significantly more collection capacity per pass and broader area coverage across both north-south and east-west regions.
What Ground Infrastructure Is Included In A Space Systems Deployment?
Ground infrastructure is customizable and can include ground stations, data processing facilities, custom data interfaces, and operational control centers. Systems can inherit the automation, tasking, and delivery capabilities of our SAR platform while enabling custom tasking policies and tailored performance. Infrastructure can be deployed as customer-owned or Capella-managed based on mission requirements.
How Does Capella Support Mission Continuity And System Evolution?
Capella provides dedicated customer support, account management, and executive support for missions and programs to ensure continuity and transparency. Our vertically integrated design and manufacturing capabilities enable ongoing system enhancements, capability upgrades, and rapid iteration aligned to evolving mission requirements.
