Designs and builds custom satellite mission architectures, spacecraft, launch coordination, and operations for government and commercial customers.
Capella Space provides space systems as a full mission service: mission architecture, spacecraft design and build, launch coordination, and either customer-managed or Capella-managed on-orbit operations.
The offering serves government and commercial customers who need a purpose-built radar satellite capability rather than imagery from an existing constellation, and it draws on the same X-band payload heritage that flies in the Capella fleet.
