What a view! Great to see @capellaspace's satellites settling into orbit nicely just a few days after their ride to space on Electron. #StrongerTogether

A #selfie from space with a view! First phase of satellite ops underway on our newly launched satellites. Boom deployment complete. This 3m arm is the length of a minivan and sets the stage for reflector deployment. More to come! #SAR #Satellite #Space #Earth

@AstroDad6 @capellaspace The deployment of a large-ish mass imparts momentum which is then quickly compensated for by the attitude control system (all very normal control system stuff)

Last Thursday, two more satellites were added to the Capella constellation and we're excited to report they are happy, healthy, and sending down beautiful imagery from two different @unescowhc sites in South America. More details on each 👇

@JeffCrusey Their next slide (same public deck) shows revisit (average) in minutes as a function of satellite number. At a high level, those apply to all of the providers more or less the same (given that none of the listed providers are focused on 'unusual orbits'). ??? What gives?

This is the stangest slide, because those revisit figures are totally inaccurate. and predasar isn't 3.0 its just sar, its not different from eo 2.0... such a weird spac, the misleading information reminds me of Momentus

Why, yes, that *is* a framed SAR image of Monterey taken by @capellaspace. Now that is some serious swag.

Windfarm or missile silo? We used our radar satellites to image what’s underneath the mysterious tents in Gansu Province, China from last week’s @washingtonpost exclusive. Analysis by @TheIntelLab

We have successfully deployed the antenna onboard our newest spacecraft! This involves precise tensioning of the reflector to approximately 3.5m in diameter while orbiting at 17,500 mph.

6/ What can you spot from space? Here is a floating solar farm with several arrays designed in the shape of a fish at the floating #solar farm in Tiangang Lake, China — Another example of 50cm x 50cm SAR imagery illuminating the world’s #cleanenergy projects.

5/ We see a bright future for #SAR with its unique ability to help conservation efforts. Crescent Dunes solar energy in the U.S. is no longer active, but its 10,000 mirrors are seen from space and its design and innovation inspire a sustainable future.

4/ Our #SAR imagery of the Aksum Airport in the Tigray region of Ethiopia reveals 23 trenches dug by TPLF forces rendering the runway unusable after the federal military captured the city. Notice the bright radar signals indicating runway damage and debris contrasting the tarmac.

3/ 50cm x 50cm #SAR imagery unlocks new applications such as counting retired A300’s at the U.S.’ Roswell International Air Center where direct radar observation and shadows reveal the cockpit, fuselage, wings, rudder and even engines of each jetliner.

2/ If you’ve seen our Stripmap images on social media, get ready for even higher levels of detail and clarity in our images. Take China’s Jiuquan #Satellite Launch Center, where you can zoom in to see crisp SAR images of the rockets on the pads with unprecedented sharpness.

The West Region of Singapore is home to the top three global export refining centers. Capella's latest Sequoia stripmap SAR imagery shows oil tankers, container ships, and even the wake of small vessels located at the mouth of the Straits of Johor. #MDA
