About. Operator of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation that images through clouds and at night. Its Canopy web app and REST API let you check feasibility, task a new Spotlight (5x5 km, 0.25-1 m priced) or Scan capture in a time window you set, track it, and download the delivered collect via STAC. Collects generally arrive 1-4 hours after the window closes. List prices start at $675 per 5x5 km scene at 1 m. Every Canopy registration goes through Umbra's regulatory review. Umbra also runs a public CC BY 4.0 open-data archive, but that is context only: here it is listed for new captures.

Price. From umbra.space/pricing and the Umbra Product Guide. Spotlight 5x5 km, 1 look: 1.0 m $675, 0.5 m $950, 0.35 m $1,750, 0.25 m $3,250; more looks raise it (e.g. 1.0 m 10-look $2,200; 0.25 m 3-look $4,900). Natural Footprint, 1 look: $1,500 (1 m) to $3,750 (0.25 m); processed to 10x10 km at no extra charge on request if the scene is large enough. Extended Dwell 5x5 km $4,750; CSI and SAR video +40% on list price. Scan by strip length: 2 m $1,250-$2,250, 1 m $2,500-$3,500, 0.5 m $4,000 (25-50 km). GEC, SICD, SIDD and JSON metadata are included; CPHD or CRSD add $250 each and switch a 5x5 km Spotlight to Natural Footprint pricing. Bistatic/multistatic: +100%. A 30-day Archive Withhold (keeps the new collect out of Umbra's archive) costs 200% of list price. Pricing is per collect; no minimum order was stated. The Canopy API has no price-quote endpoint. Fees are non-refundable under the Tasking Terms.

Coverage. SAR sees through cloud and works at night. Any point or line can be requested; actual availability comes from the feasibility endpoint. Polar orbit (97.4°), ground range 170-1,100 km either side of the flight path. Restricted Access Areas (an API endpoint and a published GeoJSON list) block tasking: some areas need screening beyond standard KYC (ongoing conflict), some conflict with Umbra priorities, and some are limited by US regulation (e.g. resolution limits over Israel). Spotlight is 5x5 km by default; Natural Footprint is larger (commonly 7.5x11 to 16x10 km) if enabled. Scan swath is 8 km wide.

Timing. Canopy Task Lifecycle Tutorial: collect delivery 'will generally happen 1-4 hours after the associated Task's windowEndAt has passed'. Total time also depends on the tasking window you set and on feasibility; Umbra says tasks can generally be submitted up to three hours before the desired collection time.

Licence. The Satellite Tasking Services Terms and Conditions license all delivered Content under CC BY 4.0: content is 'licensed, not sold', and Umbra keeps all right, title and interest. Attribution is required, with the notice 'SAR-derived data © [YEAR] Umbra Lab, Inc.' on adapted material. Umbra's Licensing & Attribution page says customers may publish, resell at a profit without royalty, and sell derivative works. The Terms override CC BY where they conflict, e.g. US export controls and sanctions (no resale to embargoed countries). The Terms do not mention AI or machine-learning training. Per the Product Guide, new tasked collects enter Umbra's Archive Catalog (which Umbra sells) unless you buy a 30-day Archive Withhold at 200% of list price. Delivered content can be downloaded for 90 days after notice. The separate open-data archive on AWS is also CC BY 4.0.
