Pioneering Innovation
Capella was first in the market to deliver very high-resolution, long-dwell imagery products through a fully automated, self-service platform. Capella Space unlocks actionable Earth insights anytime, in any weather, with advanced SAR satellites providing global transparency for our evolving planet.

Capella Begins Using Inter-satellite Data Relay System (IDRS)
Capella is the first SAR provider to leverage Inmarsat’s satellite communications network to offer real-time tasking capabilities, dramatically reducing the time required to order and deliver high-resolution imagery from anywhere in the world.
First to Rollout Fully Automated Tasking and Scheduling
Capella introduces a new platform with zero human-in-the-loop tasking, and an API to enable dynamic tip-and-cue capabilities for responsive intelligence gatherin.
Introducing Multi-look, Long Dwell Spotlight Imagery
Capella introduces spotlight imagery with 30-second dwell and multi-look processing for more precise, high-resolution object detection and classification.
Introducing Colorized Sub-aperture Imagery (CSI)
Using long-dwell spotlight data, Capella is able to stack multiple sub-apertures (independent, very-high-resolution looks) to visualize changes in geometry over the duration of a collect, including motions of any objects in the image.
First SAR Provider to Demonstrate OISL Compatibility with U.S. NDSA Standards
Capella announces agreement to work with SDA to demonstrate OISL compatibility with U.S. NDSA requirements to enable high delivery speeds and direct access to U.S. Government customers.
Collecting Sliding Spotlight at 4x Coverage, Double the Resolution
Capella collects a 20 km x 10 km sliding spotlight image at 0.5 meter resolution, demonstrating the capability to effectively double the resolution of Capella’s existing sliding spotlight product.
Demonstrating Bistatic Imaging
Capella demonstrates a bistatic SAR collect used to improve object imaging, to avoid interference from radar jamming, and to implement moving target indication and interferometry techniques.
World Premiere of VideoSAR
Capella leverages its long-dwell collect capability to produce a SAR video, showing the motion of objects through time.
Automating Satellite Commissioning
Just 14 hours after launch, Capella successfully completes automated primary commissioning of Capella-13.
