Capella Space X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (Sar) Data Applied to Environmental and Humanitarian Use Cases in Earth Observation with A Focus on Urban Footprint Mapping

Small-sat systems are providing unprecedented access to remote sensing data and at a cost far lower than traditional spacecraft. This makes them appealing for a range of environmental and humanitarian monitoring applications previously thought unfeasible. In this paper we are demonstrating Capella Space's VHR X-band SAR, high-revisit satellite constellation applied to rice agriculture, glaciology, and a particular focus on urban mapping.
