About The Company
Capella builds trusted space systems that deliver secure, rapid, and actionable Earth intelligence to Amplify 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 continues to redefine what’s possible in space-based intelligence. Our taskable Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites capture precise, high-resolution imagery in any condition, day or night, through clouds, smoke, or darkness, providing mission-ready insights when and where they’re needed most. We design for the realities of modern defense and intelligence: speed, sovereignty, and resilience. Capella delivers reliable, low-latency data that gives governments and global partners a decisive edge. Our vertically integrated manufacturing and automated tasking platform set the standard for trusted, low-latency SAR operations, enabling faster decisions and stronger deterrence across ISR and national security missions. Together with IonQ, we’re building toward a quantum-enabled constellation that empowers allies to see, decide, and act with confidence in any environment.
