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.

Capella Space and the U.S. Army Payload Development Lab entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement on 2021-10-21 to explore applications for synthetic-aperture radar through simulation and testing.
Capella Space offers the highest SAR resolution.
The National Reconnaissance Office is working with Capella Space and Hawkeye 360 under study contracts to help establish links between commercial satellites and government networks.
In December 2019 the National Reconnaissance Office awarded Capella Space a contract to experiment with the company’s SAR data to evaluate its utility for national security.
Commercial imaging resolution has reached under 0.3 m with Airbus and Maxar leading the optical sector and ICEYE, Capella, and Umbra leading the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sector, all targeting the defense market.
Airbus and Maxar are leading in the under 30cm optical resolution market, while ICEYE, Capella, and Umbra lead in the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) market.
