Why the name "Capella"?

The name Capella comes from the brightest yellow star in the night sky—a four-part, non-eclipsing binary system that, like SAR, never loses sight of Earth. In Latin, it means “the little goat,” and in Greek mythology, Capella represents the goat whose horn became the cornucopia. This symbolism reflects Capella’s vision: to deliver an abundant, uninterrupted flow of Earth insights to empower decision-makers around the world.

We took our name from a close, non-eclipsing binary star that is the brightest yellow star in the sky. Made up of four components that never block one another when seen from earth (just as SAR can always see the planet), the name Capella means “the little goat” in Latin.

In Greek mythology, the star represents the goat whose broken horn became the cornucopia, a horn of plenty, which could be filled with anything its owner wished for. We believe that one day soon Capella’s information will do the same for many clients.
