In addition, Capella leverages AWS services to process satellite data in real time as they are received, helping its users in agriculture, infrastructure, defence and disaster response immediately analyse and extract value from their data.<br>\u00a0<br>By leveraging and communicating directly with AWS Ground Station antennas, Capella\u2019s Earth observation system can provide organisations with timely access to images of the Earth, while freeing them from the cost and complexity of managing their own ground station infrastructure, which includes ground antennas to communicate with the satellites, as well as servers, storage and networking infrastructure to process, store and transport the satellite data.<br>\u00a0<br>The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites see through clouds and darkness to collect high-resolution imagery around the clock in all weather conditions.<br>\u00a0<br>The company uses AWS to manage the enormous amount of raw data that this persistent monitoring generate \u2013 an average of two to five terabytes per satellite per day \u2013 which Capella must prepare for analysis before they can be used by its customers.<br>\u00a0<br>Capella leverages AWS compute, storage, database, machine learning and analytics services to process these data immediately upon downlink, helping its customers quickly gain insights for dynamic applications such as detecting illegal maritime activities and assessing the impact of natural disasters. In addition, Capella is developing a searchable archive of Earth observation data in the cloud, providing benchmark data so users can track subtle changes to the environment, discerning patterns over time to help them inform business and policy decisions.<br>\u00a0<br>\u201cOur customers rely on us to deliver precision satellite imagery quickly,\u201d said Payam Banazadeh, CEO of Capella Space. \u201cWorking with AWS and leveraging the global coverage provided by AWS Ground Station, we are redefining what is possible in the satellite industry and reducing the cost and time required for organisations to benefit from satellite data.\u201d<br>\u00a0<br>He said combining Capella\u2019s automated and real-time approach to collecting Earth observation data with AWS\u2019s infrastructure and portfolio of services helped its customers achieve timely insights that could save lives and protect the health of the planet.<br>\u00a0<br>\u201cWe look forward to continuing to grow and innovate on AWS to create new opportunities for our customers who depend upon space technologies,\u201d he said.<br>\u00a0<br>Capella provides on-demand sub-0.5m high-resolution SAR Earth observation imagery. Through a constellation of small satellites, it is providing access to frequent, timely and flexible information affecting dozens of industries worldwide.<br>\u00a0<br>\u201cCapella Space leverages the breadth and depth of AWS services to provide its customers with on-demand access to data from space, as well as analytics to help them address some of the biggest challenges on Earth,\u201d said Teresa Carlson, vice president at AWS. \u201cUsing AWS Ground Station, customers like Capella can connect the power of satellites with AWS\u2019s reliable, global infrastructure and unmatched portfolio of services to automate and scale their operations on demand. By removing the need for organisations to build and maintain their own ground stations, AWS is putting the power of satellite data into the hands of more customers in order to derive insights that potentially can improve our understanding of space and life on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26710,"featured_media":5874,"template":"","news-category":[62],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
