About

Capella’s next-gen satellite sensor technology provides advanced radar performance with X-band radar up to 600 MHz bandwidth, delivering 0.25 m range resolution imagery with exceptional clarity. It offers extended imaging capacity with 10 minutes of imaging time per orbit per spacecraft, enabling up to 5x more on-orbit collection for maximum intelligence gathering. This single system integrates radar and RF sensing capabilities, supporting diverse missions from detailed analysis to wide-area surveillance. The multimodal sensors feature a compact design with in-house designed radar and RF sensors, high-gain antennas, and power systems for extended duty cycles and superior dwell time. AI-ready, rich datasets support decision-making and signal classification to uncover patterns and power operations. The integrated sensor architecture ensures continuous intelligence collection through high-resolution SAR imaging, high-capacity power & thermal management, encrypted data downlink & handling, and automated mission execution.
