STRIX-3, part of Synspective's commercial SAR satellite constellation, providing radar imagery for infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, and ground deformation tracking across Japan and international customers regardless of cloud cover or darkness. Synspective's growing SAR constellation gives customers imaging capability that doesn't blink even when Japan's frequent typhoon season blankets the country in the exact cloud cover that blinds optical satellites for weeks at a time.
