The SAR micro-satellites that Umbra Labs uses are equipped with specific antennas that can produce large quantities of single-look, sub-meter SAR imagery. They produce images that aren't limited by the environmental conditions that limit traditional optical satellites. The radar can pick up frequencies of 1,200 MHz and higher and deliver 0.25 meter imagery.
