Capella Space is an American space technology company and the first U.S. company to commercialize Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. They design, manufacture, and operate a constellation of SAR satellites to provide high-resolution, all-weather Earth observation imagery and geospatial solutions for government and commercial customers. Capella's key products include SAR imagery with industry-leading resolution, and they partner with organizations like NASA, SkyWatch, LiveEO and Floodbase to deliver advanced analytics and data.
