Capelle Space's SAR imagery has implications for the Earth observation industry and its applications in the manufacturing industry.
Aksum, Ethiopia — Capella’s very high-resolution Spot image identifies 23 trenches dug perpendicularly across the runway at the Aksum Airport to prevent its usage during the Ethiopian Tigray conflict. A closeup view shows the trenches and debris brightly contrasted against the dark tarmac surface.
“Everything we do is through the lens of how we can help our customers make better decisions with data and grapple with the accelerating pace of change in the world today,” said Payam Banazadeh, CEO and founder of Capella Space. “After launching our prototype satellite in late 2018 we evolved our satellites with customer requirements in mind, focusing on resolution, quality, latency, and user experience.”
Capella Space’s SAR imagery has implications for the Earth observation industry and its applications in manufacturing through timely insights and new data that is now available.
Capella Space achieves this 50 cm x 50 cm imagery by dwelling its satellites over a single area of interest for up to 60 seconds, with a satellite designed and built by Capella Space engineers.
