Capella Space

Capella Space is an space company developing space-based radar Earth observation satellites equipped with synthetic-aperture radars.

Capella Space is a satellite technology company developing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites and providing high-resolution Earth observation imagery for government and commercial applications. Its Acadia satellite constellation captures radar imagery during the day and night, including through clouds and adverse weather conditions. The company provides satellite data for maritime monitoring, infrastructure analysis, disaster response, and defense intelligence. Acquired by IonQ in July 2025, Capella also contributes satellite infrastructure and expertise to the development of space-based quantum communications technologies.

Pixxel

Pixxel is a space data company, building a constellation of hyperspectral earth imaging satellites and analytical tools to mine that data.

Pixxel is a space technology company developing hyperspectral imaging satellites and Earth observation data platforms for environmental monitoring, agriculture, energy, and industrial applications. Its Firefly satellite constellation captures imagery across 135 spectral bands, enabling the identification and analysis of materials, vegetation, water conditions, and changes on Earth’s surface. The company also provides Aurora, a geospatial data platform for accessing and analyzing satellite imagery. Pixxel combines satellite sensor technology, spectral data processing, and geospatial analytics to support environmental intelligence and resource monitoring.

Hedron

Hedron is an on-orbit communications company building a network of data relay satellites that will connect space to Earth in real-time.

Hedron, formerly known as Analytical Space, is a space technology company that developed satellite data relay and optical communications technologies for Earth observation and remote sensing missions. Its proposed satellite network combined radio-frequency communications with optical intersatellite links to transfer data between spacecraft and ground infrastructure. The company’s Fast Pixel Network was designed to reduce satellite data transmission delays and expand downlink capacity for commercial and government satellite operators. Its current operating status remains uncertain.
