Acadia Mission 2 (We Will Never Desert You)

Capella Space introduced its latest generation of satellites named “Acadia”., which offer increased imaging capability and improved communications connectivity. These satellites are smaller and lighter than previous models, but offer higher resolution and detection capabilities, enabling better Earth observation and more accurate decision making.

Capella Space’s new generation of satellites feature synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, which allows them to capture images of the Earth in all weather conditions and at any time of the day or night. In addition, these satellites have enhanced communication capabilities, allowing them to transmit data and images faster and more efficiently.

Target orbit Low Earth Orbit
Total Mass 165 kg
