PredaSAR Corporation is reaching for the stars.
The Boca Raton company’s first of 48 advanced commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites – which provide insights and data to government and commercial clients – will launch on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
It will also work with Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc., and SpaceX on a deployment plan for PredaSAR’s groundbreaking constellation, the world’s largest and most advanced commercial SAR satellite constellation.
“We are eagerly looking forward to launching PredaSAR’s constellation with SpaceX, a trusted partner and provider of launches,” says Marc Bell, co-founder and executive chairman of PredaSAR, in a press release.
“Our satellite design has benefited from years of advanced research and development from Tyvak and allows us to bring our clients the critical, persistent data that they need.”
Adds Tom Ochinero, SpaceX vice president of commercial sales, in a press release: “For launch of the first satellite of its constellation, PredaSAR sought a reliable and schedule-certain ride on a rocket with a demonstrated record of executing launches at a high cadence. We’re proud PredaSAR selected SpaceX as its launch provider for this very important mission.”
