Last week, Capella’s satellite observed three of China’s Shiuqiao landing barges near Xiangshan, Ningbo. Using CSI, SAR illuminated the vessels at night—demonstrating its power for vessel tracking, port monitoring, and dark-ship detection.

👏 Advancing InSAR together! @TRE_ALTAMIRA's analysis using our imagery showcases the power of rapid revisit and precision monitoring for geohazards.
💡Exciting results! TREA's analysis using @CapellaSpace #InSAR imagery reveals critical insights into the active #Ruinon #landslide in the Alps. Their very high-res data and rapid 3-day revisit time are game-changers for #geohazards monitoring! 👇Time-lapse & InSAR results
