Capella-2 (formerly named Sequoia), a 107kg microsatellite, was launched about two months ago and now their team is providing their new 50 cm x 50 cm imagery. Prior to Capella, the best resolution on the market was 1 m x 25 cm with non-square pixels, collected with limited bandwidth of 300 MHz. Capella-2 imagery is collected with up to 500 MHz of bandwidth, expecting to increase that up to 1.2Ghz for newer generations.

Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) allows us to monitor our planet in all-weather and in all-light conditions and to do so reliably and transparently.
