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.
