Capella Space

Capella Space is a commercial Earth observation company founded in 2016 that specializes in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite technology. The company was established to address the limitations of optical satellites, which cannot reliably capture imagery through clouds or at night. By leveraging SAR, Capella Space provides persistent, all-weather monitoring of the planet, including the 75% of Earth that is often obscured.

The company achieved significant milestones, including the launch of Denali in 2018, the first US commercial SAR satellite, and Sequoia in 2020, which demonstrated the ability to produce high-quality commercial SAR imagery at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional manufacturers. Capella Space is currently developing the next generation of SAR sensors to build a constellation that enhances decisions about commerce, conservation, and security.

Capella Space's primary service is Big Data Analytics, delivering SAR imagery and data for various applications. The company serves the Software & IT Services industry, as well as defense and arms sectors. Client types include small businesses and medium businesses.

Based on Google reviews, Capella Space has a mixed reputation. One reviewer described the experience as "Worst spaceship I've ever been in, absolute garbage," while another commented "Looks really cool." The overall Google rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 reviews.

The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with a team size of 100-249 employees. Pricing details are available upon inquiry. Capella Space's portfolio includes imagery from its SAR satellite constellation, supporting applications in commerce, conservation, and security.
