Umbra launched a second tandem pair of radar satellites on SpaceX's Transporter-11 rideshare from Vandenberg, after Umbra-07 and -08 flew in November 2023. Pairs fly together for multi-satellite imaging. COO Todd Master said Umbra already delivers the largest volume of high-resolution SAR imagery over the areas customers want most.
