After years of major capital investment, the number of active SAR satellites has begun to grow exponentially, thanks in part to the commercial rocket industry making it easier to hitch a ride to space.

Ursa Space's Daniela Moody and Daniel Baruch were guests recently on the Alternative Data Podcast. In the episode, they discussed with host Mark Fleming-Williams how data derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is being used to help make sense of the physical world.

It was a year like no other. A global pandemic altered daily life for everyone. Here’s a month-to-month recap of changes we revealed from space in 2020.

Ursa Space’s coverage of global oil inventories has undergone a major expansion, resulting in the most comprehensive dataset of its kind available.

Amazon is expected to deliver a record-shattering fourth quarter when earnings are released early next year. Instead of waiting, however, you can track Amazon’s performance in near real-time through an activity index that we derived using satellite radar imagery.

At a forum this week, attendees discussed new technologies and products being developed commercially to turn information into geospatial intelligence.

Remote sensing is the process of acquiring information about objects or areas from a distance.

Over the years, we have discussed how synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide valuable ground-truth information not available elsewhere. We provide a list of 26 examples drawn from our previous work.

SAR is an imaging technology that offers capabilities to capture complex elements, including location, distance, speed, and direction of movement.

Data derived from satellite imagery can offer fresh clues about the relative economic conditions in China, Europe and the US. The standings of these economies have emerged as a key issue in 2020, driven by the winding global path of the coronavirus outbreak.

Six years ago, Adam Maher took a huge risk on an idea he believed in: making synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites and their stand-apart abilities more available to commercial and government customers. Ursa Space has since grown from his parents’ basement to one of the 10 Hottest false

A SAR image doesn’t always conform to the Google Earth-type satellite imagery we are used to. Its value lies elsewhere, in the multi-dimensional information (e.g. speed, direction, distance, presence) that can be unlocked if SAR analysis is done correctly.
