CAPELLA X-SAR

Capella Space is a private commercial company origin from USA and plans to launch 36 SAR satellites in total in the next 3-4 years time from 2020.

As is known, optical satellites have two important restrictive factors: Light and weather conditions. Cloud cover and no light mean that only 25% of the Earth surface can be captured at any time by optical imaging. Capella SAR (Artificial Aperture Radar) satellites are able to capture in X-band without being affected by clouds and no light factors.

Each Capella satellite has a three-year design life. By launching 12 satellites a year, the team will continue its satellite viewing capability indefinitely. Capella will be able to apply improvements in constellation and radar performance quarterly, with the feature of constantly updating and renewing satellite technology. System features for the first satellites are listed in Table 1.
