About Us
Array Labs makes the physical world easier to understand. We build the satellites, software, and analytics that help commercial, government, and military users know what is happening across Earth and space.
Traditional satellite sensing is slow, expensive, and hard to use. Array is different. We're developing a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create dynamic understanding of the Earth at any given moment, in all weather, day and night.
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, from the hardware in orbit to our data processing and analytics software on the ground, so that defense, disaster response, infrastructure, and commercial operators can act with greater speed, confidence, and precision.
