ARAX
We are developing ARAX, an advanced X-band SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite constellation. ARAX redefines infrastructure monitoring with a scalable satellite system, featuring centimetric resolution. This ensures image capture for target identification with greater precision and enables proactive decision-making at a disruptive price point.
The ARAX system concentrates all available resources on delivering an effective and specific solution.
This strategy allows the constellation to reduce costs and operate at disruptive market values, guaranteeing precise and accessible surveillance of critical infrastructure worldwide.
