Capella Uses Space to Bring You Closer to Earth
Capella Space’s SAR satellites can see through clouds and darkness to collect millimeter-scale resolution imagery 24×7 in all weather conditions. This delivers a persistent monitoring capability for customers working in fields where operating conditions change quickly, such as defense and humanitarian assistance. Using AWS, Capella Space provides its customers with access to satellite data within minutes of its capture—far faster than traditional satellite data delivery services.
At Capella Space, we believe the space-based technologies we’re building and our collaboration with AWS will improve security, commerce, conservation, and the well-being of all people through the 21st century and beyond.”
