About the Company

Umbra is an American space technology company built to push the limits of what's possible. We're redefining what can be done in and through space - expanding access, increasing persistence, and delivering a powerful information advantage to our customers. From the ground up in the U.S., we design, build, test, and operate advanced systems - from sensors to spacecraft - engineering novel solutions tailored to the missions that matter most. Our agile Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation is the most capable system on the market -- producing the highest-quality imaging data in any condition, at any time. Built for unmatched resilience, our system illuminates what others miss and empowers customers with persistent access, resilient performance, and proven results on orbit - not just on paper. Our commitment to First Principles engineering has fueled year-over-year growth since our market entry in 2021. And we are only just getting started. Umbra's ecosystem today includes: - Remote Sensing = the data - Space Systems = the hardware - Mission Solutions = the platforms Together, these capabilities make Umbra the most effective partner in the market - delivering the flexibility, performance, and resilience your mission demands. By continuously designing, building, and operating our own systems, we're constantly refining our technology, our products, and our craft. Our radar imagery is the direct result of our platform effectiveness - precision from orbit, powered by our integrated hardware and software. Because we've mastered the details, we can customize satellites quickly and reliably. Now, we're offering others the same building blocks that more our missions possible. We know space. And we're continuing to redefine it.
