Capella Looks to Expand Earth Observation Constellation

Capella Space hopes to launch two more earth exploration satellite service satellites, Arcadia-3 and -4, in Q4 of this year and Q1 2024 respectively, it told the FCC Space Bureau Tuesday in an application to launch the two. The satellites would join nine of its EESS satellites already in orbit, Capella said. It said it signed a coordination agreement with NASA, the Air Force and other federal agencies for its X-band downlinks to ensure Capella operations don't interfere with the federal systems.
