Pioneering the world’s first quantum-enabled Earth observation network.
About us
Capella, an IonQ company, builds trusted space systems that deliver secure, rapid, and actionable Earth intelligence for our allied partners. Powered by IonQ, we’re creating the world’s first quantum-enabled Earth observation network, transforming how intelligence is delivered through innovation, speed, and trust. As the first U.S. company to launch and operate a commercial SAR constellation, Capella provides precise, high-resolution imagery in any condition, day or night, through clouds, smoke, or darkness. We design for speed, sovereignty, and resilience, delivering reliable, low-latency data that empowers governments and global partners to see, decide, and act with confidence in any environment.

Proud to partner with Pacific Geomatics (PacGeo) 🇨🇦 to deliver actionable SAR data to customers worldwide, ensuring mission-ready visibility in even the most challenging environments
🛰️ This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image of Eureka, Nunavut, captured March 20, 2026 by Capella Space, shows why SAR is a critical capability for Arctic operations. Eureka experiences months of polar night and persistent cloud cover that prevents optical satellites from collecting usable data. SAR operates independently of daylight and weather, delivering dependable, high-resolution imagery in conditions where other sensors cannot. For Arctic and remote operations, SAR provides: ▪️ Uninterrupted imaging during Arctic winter and polar night conditions ▪️ Reliable, high-frequency collection through clouds, snow, and severe weather ▪️ Clear, high-resolution visibility of infrastructure, terrain, and ice-covered surfaces ▪️ Time-critical intelligence in remote regions with limited observational access Contact Pacific Geomatics (PacGeo) 🇨🇦 to discuss feasibility, collection modes, and timelines for your area of interest. #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing #SatelliteImagery #SAR #Canada #CanadianArctic

Earlier this month, our partners at Esri highlighted new SAR analytic capabilities during their plenary—showcasing workflows powered by Capella's SAR dataset. Advanced sensors like synthetic aperture radar are reshaping Earth observation, and Esri's ArcGIS continues to make complex imagery more accessible, analyzable, and operationally relevant. Huge shoutout to Sam Jaeger, solution engineer at Esri, for presenting these powerful new capabilities and helping global users unlock greater value from SAR.
