First Investment: 2015
Earth-observing satellites with traditional optical-wavelength cameras can’t see much at night and can’t see through bad weather. The company uses satellite-based synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) technology, previously available only to defense, intelligence, and other government institutions, to collect high-resolution, 24⁄7 imagery of any location on the planet. Customers can task satellites on-demand and peer through clouds, rain, smoke, or darkness. They’re using Capella’s satellite network to monitor shipping fleets and oil & gas infrastructure, track deforestation and the effects of sea-level rise, and map and verify damage from natural disasters.
