That isn't snow on top of the #ConcepcionVolcano in #Nicaragua. A very shallow look angle of 11.5 degrees, and 4:1 range to azimuth resolution results in interesting layover effects and the primary focus on the slope of the #volcano. #Ometepeisland #SAR #EarthObservation

Shyam is one of the smartest executives who has immersed himself in the problem of government acquisition. And what he says here is spot on.

This view from space NEVER gets old for me. As we go through our commissioning of our latest 2 satellites our team gets to visually inspect every step of the way. Here is our 3m arm getting deployed.

Another beautiful day in space. Most humbling experience in my career has been to work with this team. Wait until you see the first light images :)

4 days, 23 hours, and 10 minutes to comission two (very sophisticated) SAR satellites and get stunning imagery from space. Incredible work by the Capella team. More satellites coming soon!

Capella demonstrates #bistatic imaging capability – another first in the US commercial #SAR industry. Here is a traditional monostatic image next to the bistatic image, showing a clear difference in object and feature detection. capellaspace.com/capella-space-…

There is a new cohort of founders, especially in “deep tech”, that think “hype” is what they need to deliver to raise more capital. The “hype” investors are at fault. You need real tech, real customers, and real traction. The rest is all noise.

EU has lost the way. You can’t have solidarity with terrorists who kill their own people. People in Iran are celebrating the helicopter crash while EU is in “solidarity”. Janez should resign. What an embarrassment.

It’s important to pair your founder optimism with a good dosage of realism and skepticism. Too much optimism can blind you into driving the company into the wall and too much skepticism is recipe for mediocrity and stagnation. The perfect balance differentiates great founders.

We are on day 5 of a complete blackout (no internet, no cell, no landline) in Iran and now confirmed reports of at least 12,000 protestors killed. This is a crime against humanity. The brutal and terrorist regime of Iran needs to go. President Donald J. Trump must act decisively.
