CAPELLA SPACE CORPORATION

Capella Space Corp specializes in the acquisition, processing, and delivery of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from commercial smallsat constellations to support government mission needs. Their core capabilities center on Earth observation data services, with deep technical expertise in SAR signal processing, geospatial analytics, and satellite data integration for all-weather, day-night surveillance and change detection. The company enables operational decision-making through timely, high-fidelity radar imagery products compliant with U.S. government data usage standards, including EULA-level delivery and on-demand tasking. A key differentiator is their focus on integrating commercial SAR data into defense and space agency workflows, bridging the gap between commercial innovation and mission-critical government requirements. Capella Space Corp maintains a strong presence with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Defense. For NASA, they provide commercial smallsat data under the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program, delivering high-resolution SAR imagery for scientific evaluation and operational testing. For the Department of Defense, they support advanced radar technology development and operational rehearsals, including SBIR Phase III procurements and demonstrations of SAR data for contingency planning and inter-satellite link validation with the Space Development Agency’s transport layer. Their primary industry focus is on professional, scientific, and technical services, specifically in commercial Earth observation and applied research in physical and engineering sciences. They operate at the intersection of commercial space innovation and national security, positioning themselves as a trusted provider of non-optical remote sensing solutions for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and disaster response missions. Capella Space Corp is a small business headquartered in San Francisco, California, with no federal certifications on record. The company’s geographic and operational focus is squarely on serving U.S. government agencies through advanced space-based sensing technologies, leveraging its engineering expertise to deliver mission-ready data products without reliance on traditional government-owned platforms.
