Capella Space recently unveiled a few images captured from Sequoia. Payam Banazadeh, Capella Space founder and CEO, said in a blog post by Capella Space that when he started Capella Space in 2016, there were a number of European providers operating and building commercial SAR, but the United States had no horse in the commercial SAR race. Capella decided to change that dynamic and challenge the international competition by bringing a fully American designed, built and operated capability to market. He added that they are proud to announce that they are the first American SAR operator.
Capella showcased three images with a resolution of two meters, showing Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, Santa Ana Volcanoes in El Salvador and Sundarban National Park in India.
He added that they’re glad to share this historic moment both for Capella, as well as for the American Earth Observation industry by being its first commercial SAR provider. Over the coming weeks and months, they will continue sharing images that showcase some of the higher resolution imagery including their 50 cm resolution Spot, more advanced capabilities, and the unique advantages of their systems.
