About
Capella’s Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data provides highly precise radar imaging for all-weather, 24/7 intelligence. With very-high resolution data at 0.25 m azimuth resolution and up to 60-second multi-look dwell, it offers unmatched clarity. The system is designed for sustained performance with 10-minute duty cycles, allowing for longer dwell times and more images per orbit. An intuitive automated platform facilitates self-serve search, tasking, and customization through Automated TCPED. Capella offers various collection types, including Spotlight Ultra for fine details, Spotlight for object classification and change detection, Spotlight Wide for large-area monitoring, Stripmap for broad land use monitoring, and Parallel Stripmap for double coverage while retaining high-resolution. The data is available in detected (SIDD, GEO, GEC, CSI) and complex (SICD, SLC, CPHD) formats, featuring market-leading Noise Equivalent Sigma Zero (NESZ) and easy integration into common geospatial software applications. Benefits include advanced and actionable SAR imagery with vessel classification and Colorized Sub-aperture Imaging (CSI), multi-orbit global coverage, and robust security and trust measures.
