NASA ED - 250128 - NASA CSDA Program Vendor Focus—Capella Space (Webinar)

NASA CSDA Program Vendor Focus—Capella Space NASA Earthdata Jan 28, 2025 NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) established the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition :(CSDA) program to explore the potential of commercial satellite data in advancing the agency’s Earth science research and application objectives. The program aims to identify, assess, and acquire data from commercial providers, which may offer a cost-effective means of supplementing Earth observations collected by NASA, other U.S. Government agencies, and international collaborators. During this NASA CSDA program vendor webinar, speakers introduce Capella Space and the company’s satellite constellation; show how to discover, access, and work with Capella Space high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) products; and highlight various applications for the data. Additional topics will focus on the services available to data users and getting assistance with the datasets, services, and tools provided to NASA by CSDA program vendor Capella Space.
