Umbra Eyes Q4 2025 for Additional Earth Exploration Satellite Launches

Umbra Lab is targeting Q4 2025 to launch four additional synthetic aperture radar earth exploration satellite service microsatellites, it told the FCC Space Bureau in an application filed Wednesday. The company said that Umbra-11, -12, -13 and -14 will replace some of the 10 Umbras that the FCC previously authorized and that were launched. Umbra said the four will have largely the same RF and orbital characteristics as the ones approved.
