Benefits for 精东影业 Customers
Capella SAR is useful to anyone looking to do more detailed analysis under conditions that present challenges for optical sensors, such as:
- highly clouded areas
- low-light conditions
- nighttime capture
Due to the different orbital patterns of the constellation and the presence of an聽, Capella Spotlight is suitable for capturing images at any time of day, thereby reducing latency on tasking requests and increasing the granular temporal resolution on images.
Capella Spotlight is also highly valuable to any time-sensitive need, such as disaster relief or financial analysis, or cases where an AOI must be completely imaged without cloud interference, such as for defense or for infrastructure monitoring.
