At Umbra, our focus has always been on agility - in our vehicles, our production systems, and our capabilities.

Yesterday, Umbra-13 and Umbra-14 successfully deployed and made contact following their launch aboard SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The pair builds on our operational heritage, advances our third-generation system, and adds more American-made capability for the United States, its allies, and partners.

We've spent years pushing the boundaries of what's possible with space-based radar from industry-leading image quality and collection capacity to flying satellites in formation for cooperative imaging to meet critical mission needs. These aren't future ambitions. We've built, flown, and proven them all on orbit.

Redefine Space isn't about putting the most satellites in orbit.

It's about investing in multi-mission capability and vertical integration to expand what each satellite can do.

Formula 1 hasn’t raced at Sepang since 2017. A lot can change in nine years.

Captured this weekend, this 35 cm SAR image provides a detailed look at the Sepang International Circuit and the infrastructure required to support the highest pedigree of racing—from the circuit itself to the grandstands, paddock, and surrounding facilities.

Rain was part of race day at Sepang. For SAR, it’s just another collection. High-resolution imagery captures that complexity with clarity, day or night and regardless of weather.

The circuit may have been off the F1 calendar. It hasn’t been out of view.

Image quality drives utility.

The Port of Long Beach handles more than $300 billion in trade annually, making visibility into change across its complex infrastructure critical.

High-resolution SAR imagery provides the detail needed to detect and characterize that change. Layered with change detection, individual collections become a clearer picture of activity over time.

At Umbra, we’ve built our constellation to consistently deliver the high-quality data that enables these capabilities.

The imagery performs, and we deliver.

Umbra has been selected by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data provider under its Space-Based Environmental Monitoring IDIQ contract.

Through the Active Sensors category, Umbra's American-made SAR constellation will provide NOAA access to high-resolution Earth observation data-day or night and through clouds, storms, and other challenging conditions-to support weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.

"NOAA has long been at the forefront of understanding our planet and turning observations into information that people depend on every day. We're proud to bring Umbra's commercial radar capabilities to that mission." - Joe Morrison, VP & GM of Remote Sensing at Umbra.

This award creates a new pathway for
NOAA to leverage commercial SAR as its operational and scientific requirements evolve, further expanding the role of U.S. commercial space capabilities in understanding our planet.

That’s a wrap on SmallSat 2026!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate one year of Umbra Space Systems, talk hardware, and discuss what’s next.

From our proven American-made spacecraft components to the new capabilities we’re building around the needs of our customers, industry, and critical missions around the world, SmallSat was a great reminder of why we keep coming back: the people, the missions, and a shared hardware culture focused on building what works.

Today marks the next chapter in our partnership with the National Reconnaissance Office.

Umbra has been awarded a sole-source follow-on contract through the NRO's Commercial Systems Program Office (CSPO) to provide assured commercial SAR capabilities in support of U.S. national security missions. Over the past four years, we've delivered more than 100,000 SAR images over critical areas of interest—providing reliable, all-weather, day-and-night intelligence when it matters most.

"We're honored by the trust the NRO has placed in Umbra to support U.S. intelligence missions. Our team is focused on solving the hardest remote sensing challenges in space, and we move at speed to turn new ideas and U.S. technology into better capabilities for national security. We are proud to serve the NRO, and we'll keep proving that American innovation can meet the mission, every day." — David Langan, CEO

Thank you to the NRO and CSPO for their continued partnership.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of builders, innovators, and believers chose to pursue a future no one could guarantee.

That same spirit of American ingenuity continues today.

To mark our nation's moment, we've assembled a collection of 250 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, captured by our American-designed and American-built satellite constellation. From national parks and historic landmarks to critical infrastructure and coastlines, each image reflects both the places that define our country and the technology built to better understand it.

This collection is also a tribute to the engineers, operators, and builders behind Umbra. Their relentless pursuit of what's possible has created a new way to see our world and a reminder that the next chapter of American innovation is still being written. 🇺🇸

Built by operators, for operators.

Our American-made reaction wheel delivers the precision and reliability demanding space missions require—the Umbra standard carried into every detail.

Our high-resolution data is what we're known for. This is how we get it.
