Early Thursday morning an oil tanker, the Terra Nova, sank outside of Manila in the Philippines. Monsoon conditions created large waves which sunk the tanker which is now leaking oil into Manila Bay. Capella jumped in and has tasked and collected imagery from the area within 24 hours showing a possible oil slick left in the bay. Our team will continue to monitor conditions and provide resources like our SAR images to those on the ground.

What's behind the image? 🛰️ The Lewotobi Laki-laki is one of the 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia and has been erupting since December 2023. This SAR imagery was created using Capella's Sliding Spotlight Imaging Mode with daytime ascending orbit on Capella 11. Curious to learn more about our SAR capabilities? Visit capellaspace.com to discover how we're reshaping satellite imaging technology. #CapellaSpace #LewotobiVolcano #SpaceTechnology

Mt. Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, has been exhibiting increased activity over recent weeks. This culminated in an explosive eruption at its summit crater just a few days ago. Through a series of five experimental interferometric SAR acquisitions, collected with a cadence of ~3 days, Capella's satellites captured the event in amazing detail. The animation below showcases the evolution of the interferometric coherence, computed from a reference SAR image dated July 9, and compared across four subsequent images. In regions with sufficient backscattered signal towards the SAR sensor, bright areas indicate minimal change, while dark areas highlight significant changes primarily due to the emplacement of lava flows and ash. The most dramatic change is represented by the image captured on July 18 at 00:28 UTC, just 4.5 hours after the summit eruption which occurred the day before at 19:51 UTC (as reported by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia - INGV). Capturing evidence of the eruption so soon after the event is a perfect demonstration of the agility of Capella's satellite constellation. The animation demonstrates the value of persistent monitoring using Capella's high-resolution SAR satellites, with their ability to penetrate cloud and ash and reveal the rapid evolution of volcanic activity, where timing and rapid dissemination of data are crucial.

#SAR imagery analysis is far from straightforward. Often, it requires an experienced analyst with extensive radar and scientific studies. Manual analysis of #SAR data is extremely time-consuming, not only because of the complex nature of such images but also due to the sheer number of objects, noise, and other factors typically present on SAR scenes. SATIM Inc.’s #OREC #AI, automatically #detects and #classifies airplanes on SAR imagery. On this Capella Space image, OREC AI was able to detect and classify 1,462 aircraft in 60 seconds. We invite you to bring your own imagery and challenge to us, take advantage of our #API and see the results for yourself. Get in touch with us, and let’s make SAR imagery easy to use. #AircraftClassification #OREC #SSIG #SARimagery #AirboneSAR #DefenseInnovation #SyntheticSignatures #Resilient #Adaptable #Precise #AI #ATR
