- Stellar Vision — StellaVision can interpret synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors, an unparalleled radar technique for interpreting satellite data. Information is critical for making investment or policy decisions. Historically, we relied on news sources and government figures to make decisions. However, relying entirely on previously published knowledge may causeyou to be late to the game, and making decisions based on rumors or gossip may result in big losses. Satellite imaging provides a solution to this information mismatch. Satellite imaging is becoming a key decision-making tool in a variety of businesses due to its ability to give fast and accurate information.
