Critchlow Geospatial is pleased that Capella has chosen us to represent them in New Zealand. Capella’s mission is to “make timely Earth observation an essential tool for commerce, conservation, and well-being. A world that shares a richer understanding of life on our planet will be a better place to live; we contribute to that knowledge by documenting change across the globe in entirely new and powerful ways.”
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) offers a different perspective as it transcends the elements of weather and the darkness of night. Despite the cool factor that it offers self-service tasking and image download via the Capella web platform, Capella’s SAR data is surprisingly affordable and easy to use.
Capella’s growing constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provides 24-hour all-weather Earth observation. What makes SAR unique is its ability to penetrate atmospheric conditions, providing near real-time visibility in cloud covered areas, both day and night.
Capella Space’s commercial SAR technology offers many advantages that traditional optical and multi-spectral earth observation sensors cannot provide, including:
Capella’s self-service offering will be of great use to many New Zealand sectors, including maritime and land search and rescue; oil spill response; earthquake, flood and landslide monitoring; and traffic volume assessments, to name a few.
