Our take

Earth observation in the form of satellite imagery is in high demand. With climate change, supply chain, and defense operations all requiring high-quality observation data, the race is on to provide the clearest, most timely images - and Capella Space is one private company leading the charge.

Capella Space commands a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation in low-earth orbit that clients can use to access real-time visibility of facts on the ground. It’s the first US company to do so, and has won a correspondingly leading slate of customers that include the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office, the U.S. Air Force, Geospatial, and RSI.

As the urgency of addressing global issues increases, the demand for Capella Space’s services is almost certain to rise. This puts the company in a great position to pursue further success, having already established itself as a key player in the market. It has also seen good funding that will help expand its imaging capacity and develop new data products, and has become one of the first commercial earth observation companies to secure a contract to work with the government on its program to boost US resilience in space.
