1 / We’re proud to officially release our #SAR Open Data Program to the world. Our goal of the program is to build a community where academia, researchers and engineers develop applications to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges with #geospatial data 👉capellaspace.com/gallery/ 
2 / #EarthObservation is impacted by cloud coverage and nighttime. We compiled 24/7 all-weather SAR data across multiple use cases, geographies and data products for our Open Data Program — Learn how to access them here: capellaspace.com/capella-space-…
3 / A few #OpenData examples: #Deforestation in South America is opaque, and traditional #satellite Imagery is obscured by cloud coverage in Earth’s Equatorial regions. In our Stripmap mode, analysts can identify naturally occurring vegetation vs cleared forest & infrastructure
4 / The wealth of #OSINT data is making our world more transparent and accountable. Gadzhiyevo serves as a home base for multiple classes of Russian ballistic missile submarines, Analysts could look for anomalies day or night, rain or shine.
5 / Corporations that rely on commodities and operate international supply chains benefit from near real-time #geospatial #intelligence. The Port of Shanghai is a key location for global trade. SAR data is full of insights from the number of vessels to the height of containers.
6 / You’ve seen our imagery on social media. #OpenData is so much more than imagery. SAR imagery is a visual representation of phase and amplitude data. All of which can be used to identify objects, track change, measure infrastructure and develop maps for #DisasterResponse.
7 / What has been done with Capella Open Data so far? During our soft launch, volcanologists made scientific discoveries during ongoing eruptions, developers created flood detection algorithms, and archeologists found remnants of the Great Wall of China.
8 / These initial datasets are just the beginning. 50cm SAR data enables feature extraction, object counting & change monitoring. As our #SAR Community grows we plan to release more data to leverage these resources. What would you do with free SAR data?
