Umbra-SAR 2001 [Umbra Lab]
Umbra Lab of California is developing the Umbra-SAR Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite constellation.
The first satellite, Umbra-SAR 2001, is a 65 kg satellites are equipped with a X-band SAR (synthetic apperture radar) to capture snapshot imagery with a resolution of 25 centimeters over a 16 square km area. The mission is to test technologies and designs, validate performance,
and progress into a fully operational architecture. To collect radar imagery Umbra has developed a proprietary antenna technology allowing for
relatively low power operation to achieve high quality SAR images.
Technology developments being tested include:
- Deployable high gain mesh antenna developed by Umbra
- Radar and radio electronics developed by Umbra
- Novel thermal management systems
- Electrical and power systems
- Mission Concept-of-Operations
- Function of integrated space-ground system
- Radar image formation utilizing full ITU bandwidth allocation of 1,200 MHz
It was planned to be launched on the Transporter-1 mission on a Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5) ride-share mission, but was delayed to a later launch.
