GEOINT 2024 - Capella Space | Frank Backes

Capella Space is a company that specializes in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. They have a vertically integrated capability with high-resolution imaging and strong signal transmission. They currently have four satellites in orbit and plan to launch more. Capella has faced supply chain challenges but has adapted by signing contracts with multiple companies. They have also established successful partnerships with analytics companies to make SAR data more consumable. SAR has traditionally been used in the military and intelligence industry but is now seeing growth in non-military applications. One of the biggest hurdles for the industry is turning SAR data into human-readable and machine-readable information. Capella recently launched a satellite with fully automated deployment capability, which enhances their resiliency and ability to reconstitute satellite capability in case of a catastrophic event.
