Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of builders, innovators, and believers chose to pursue a future no one could guarantee. That same spirit of American ingenuity continues today. To mark our nation's moment, we've assembled a collection of 250 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, captured by our American-designed and American-built satellite constellation. From national parks and historic landmarks to critical infrastructure and coastlines, each image reflects both the places that define our country and the technology built to better understand it. This collection is also a tribute to the engineers, operators, and builders behind Umbra. Their relentless pursuit of what's possible has created a new way to see our world and a reminder that the next chapter of American innovation is still being written. 🇺🇸 Link to view the collection: umbra.space/america-250/

We're heading to Daejeon. Join Umbra at ISS 2026 and hear from Alexander Jun on Tuesday, June 16, during Session 4: Satellite as a Service (SAR). The session will explore the expanding role of commercial SAR and how satellite service providers are helping customers unlock new mission capabilities through timely, reliable intelligence. Visit us at Booth B43 to learn how we design, build, test, and operate advanced systems – from sensors to spacecraft – engineering novel solutions tailored to the missions that matter most. See you at ISS 2026.

The Antarctic winter offers no daylight. Temperatures plummet. Conditions become some of the harshest on Earth. For emperor penguins, it's breeding season. For scientists, it has long been a blind spot. But even when visibility disappears, critical insights remain within reach. Researchers at the University of Canterbury utilized Umbra's high-resolution SAR imagery to detect and track emperor penguin colonies throughout the Antarctic winter, providing new insight into breeding populations during a critical stage of their lifecycle. When visibility disappears, reliable, proven SAR continues to deliver. Read more about the research: canterbury.ac.nz/news-and-event…

At a time when security, supply chain resilience, and technological advantage are increasingly intertwined, the Supply Security & Defence Expo brings together government, defense, and industry leaders to discuss the future of security in the Baltics and beyond. Join Umbra's @mouthofmorrison as he presents: The Strategic Value of Resilience: A Foundation for Global Security As nations work to strengthen critical infrastructure, modernize defense capabilities, and navigate an increasingly complex threat environment, resilience has become a strategic necessity. Joe will explore how resilient systems and architectures create lasting security advantages and enable organizations to adapt, endure, and succeed under pressure.

We’ve landed in Denver! GEOINT Symposium kicks off tomorrow and we'll be at Booth #327. Stop by to see how Umbra captures high-resolution SAR when it matters most - day or night, through cloud cover, even when visibility is limited. Task a satellite live in Canopy, our intuitive tasking platform, and follow the process from request to delivery. Come see it in action. #GEOINT2026 #Geospatial #SAR #RemoteSensing #AmericanMade

We're onsite at the NYSE 2026 Space Summit, and yesterday, @MasterActual participated alongside space leaders including @RepJBridenstine, 13th Administrator of @NASA, in the ringing of the closing bell at the @NYSE. The mission is clear: space is critical to our national security, economic strength, and continued leadership in innovation. At Umbra, we’re executing on that mission - delivering high-resolution SAR, deploying resilient mission solutions, and building American-made space components that strengthen the U.S. supply chain and perform when it matters most. More to come - this is our collective moment. Video credit: New York City Stock Exchange

Honored to be featured in @ArenaMagDotCom, which visited Umbra in Santa Barbara to explore more about our technology, how we started, how we made our way, and the people who made it happen. We’re not often in the bright lights, which makes this piece a rare behind-the-scenes look at the team, the journey, and the challenges we’re tackling together. Every day brings something new - and this team is built for it. Read the full story in the latest issue.
Arena Magazine@arenamagdotcom

When Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane went down in August 2023 after his short-lived mutiny against Vladimir Putin, @umbraspace's SAR imagery was the first to show the crash site; those images, taken by radar at night when cameras couldn’t see, ran on CNN and showed the state of the wreckage. For a company whose first satellites had been up for only two years, it was a significant moment. Hardware that had been designed and built by a very small team on the quiet California coast was the source of a major international headline in a bloody conflict a world away — and the images were on TV! For our latest issue, @mualphaxi went to Santa Barbara to visit Umbra, which operates one of the most sophisticated synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) constellations in the world, public or private.

Great partnership with @vantortech. Umbra SAR tasking is now available directly in Vantor Hub—bringing radar and EO together in one place to help teams stay focused on the mission.
Vantor@vantortech

Every mission is multi-sensor. Starting today, you can task @umbraspace SAR directly from Vantor Hub without switching gears. WorldView Radar is integrated into Vantor Hub through our partnership with Umbra, bringing high-resolution spotlight SAR into the same environment where you access the industry's most trusted spatial foundation. Vantor's high-resolution data serves as an important reference for interpreting and understanding insights from SAR imagery. Umbra operates one of the most capable commercial SAR constellations in orbit today. Their satellites deliver spotlight collections down to 25 cm resolution, with longer dwell options that improve signal return and reduce speckle. The result is radar imagery that helps analysts detect activity and identify objects even when they’re partially obscured. The goal is simple: keep SAR and EO in the same operational workflow so teams can pivot sensors without changing tools. SAR tasking in Hub is rolling out in beta for select customers; reach out to your Vantor sales rep to get started. vantor.com/blog/task-sar-…
