What are Capella's available imaging latitudes?

Capella’s SAR constellation spans mid-inclination (44°, 53°) and sun-synchronous (97°) orbits, enabling global coverage from +87.4°N to –87.4°S. The constellation’s tasking system automatically selects the appropriate satellites based on orbital constraints, unless a specific orbital plane is requested by the user.

Capella Space has a constellation of multiple SAR satellites in a mix of mid-inclination (MIO) and sun-synchronous (SSO) orbits, setting the latitude range that can be imaged by any given satellite.

The available imaging latitudes for satellites of different inclinations are:

Orbital Plane Latitudes Covered
44° +48.9°N to -48.9°S 
53° +58.3°N to -58.3°S 
97° +87.4°N to -87.4°S

Capella's constellation tasking system automatically manages individual satellite latitude constraints. For a point and area tasking request where the Orbital Plane is not specified, the available imaging latitudes of the entire constellation (currently +87.4°N to -87.4°S) is considered by the new acquisition scheduler.
