This stunning image of Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy), collected on July 9, 2024, was captured during its current eruptive episode, widely documented by international media. The eruption has led to significant changes to the summit crater, with reports suggesting that the volcano may have exceeded its previous height by several tens of meters. 🌋 Mt. Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, often presents observation challenges for optical satellite imagery—this is where SAR imagery truly excels. Through Capella's leading constellation of high-resolution SAR satellites, we can reliably capture volcanic activity around the clock, in any weather or atmospheric conditions, revealing changes with unprecedented detail.

In advance of our “A Sky Full of SARs” launch with Rocket Lab on July 20 UTC, we’re thrilled to introduce our Capella 13 mission patch. For this mission we have opted for a European twist, with a phoenix from Greek mythology symbolizing the resolve and resilience that we incorporate into our operations, ensuring that our clients always have access to timely, high-resolution SAR data from our ever-expanding constellation of satellites. Inspired by the popular British song, "A Sky Full of Stars," Capella 13 represents our leading position in space, our mission heritage with SAR technology, and our important business activities in the European region.

It has been a pleasure to support this work in the development of an oil slick detection model to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our day. We provide open data to the Capella Space Community to explore novel solutions leveraging high-resolution #SAR imagery, and look forward to our continued collaboration with the experts at #PML. #disasterresponse
The global demand for #CrudeOil continues to increase, but beyond the impact of this fossil fuel on the Earth’s climate, other risks associated with the demand for #oil are also increasing... One such risk is #OilSpills, with 1000s of spills occurring globally each year, totaling around 700 million gallons of oil entering our ocean annually. Discover our work to detect oil spills across the global ocean using #satellite technology: https://lnkd.in/e-KUjfxr #earthobservation #satellites #tech4good #techforgood #techforchange #tech4change
