What they do

Problem

Governments and shipping companies lack highly accurate, global, timely weather data needed to adapt to extreme weather.

Solution

A low-cost, vertically integrated flat-panel radar satellite constellation that collects high-accuracy global weather data from a closer orbital vantage point.

Who it's for

Governments, military agencies, and cargo/shipping enterprises that need weather intelligence for planning and operations.
