Transforming satellite imagery
into actionable intelligence

THE TECHNOLOGY

On a mission to turn earth observations into precision data.

Saudi Arabia’s eyes in space - seeing everything, in any conditions.

Most satellites go blind at night. In bad weather. Under cloud cover or smoke. SarSatX doesn't.

Founded at KAUST, SarSatX is a startup that builds small satellites equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar - a technology that delivers high-resolution earth observation data 24 hours a day, in any weather, anywhere on Earth. Data is delivered within four hours of any request. Applications span oil leak detection, disaster response, border security, agricultural monitoring and urban planning.

From KAUST's TAQADAM Accelerator to orbit.
