Our microsatellites are compact and lightweight. Perfect for rideshare compatibility with an EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) ring for affordable access to space. Launch ride-sharing keeps our mission costs low, allowing us to pass savings on to our customers.
Umbra’s unique approach balances size, volume and power while conforming to a microsatellite form factor. This means higher quality images at a lower price point for your SAR data services and analytics.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a form of radar imaging that is used to create two or three dimensional images. Similar to a camera flash, SAR actively illuminates a scene and can generate images through clouds, smoke, fog and in total darkness.
A scalable constellation size supports high revisit rates. As our customers create new analytics solutions derived from our SAR data we will rapidly grow capacity to meet their demand. Average revisits on the order of an hour are achievable with 12 satellites while maintaining 0.5 meter resolution (NESZ ≤ -18 dB/NIIRS-6)
Active illumination produces images that are not constrained by the lighting and environmental conditions that limit optical satellites. Image orders are collected and distributed to customers in a timely and predictable manner.
