Kapta Space raises $5M seed to build electronically steerable satellite radar for faster, higher-resolution Earth observation

Kapta Space, a five-person Seattle startup, announced a $5 million seed round to develop electronically steerable satellite radar antennas that boost imaging speed, precision, and mode flexibility compared with conventional SAR systems. The company plans a low-cost satellite network for more frequent, higher-resolution Earth-observation and defense applications, building on prior pre-seed funding and a Department of Defense grant.
