Sensing in space The untapped potential of radar for space-based sensing. And how to get it right.

Space holds vast promise.

Orbiting satellites have already enabled global communications and allowed us to learn about our planet’s climate.

This paper will explain radar, how it works, and why it is suited to space applications.

It will also discuss considerations for space companies when deploying any sensing technology.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sensing.

Our team works with space missions to assess if mmWave radar is right, and where it is, identify optimal configurations, software, and security to deliver against the performance and SWaP-C goals.
