Satellite Services and Operators

Umbra is an American space technology company founded in 2015 as Umbra Lab and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, building and operating small satellites carrying synthetic aperture radar to image the Earth surface at high resolution day and night and through cloud cover. The company came out of stealth mode in October 2019 and launched its first satellite in June 2021, and by the mid 2020s it operated a constellation of eight SAR satellites in orbit with plans to expand toward a network of thirty two, offering imagery reported at resolutions as fine as sixteen centimeters.
