Synspective StriX is an operational X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation mission operated by Synspective. The mission began with the first StriX satellite reaching target orbit on 2020-12-15,[1] and the ninth StriX satellite was launched in May 2026.[2] The early StriX demonstration satellite flew at approximately 500 km altitude; the operational StriX-1 and StriX-beta satellites were placed in a 561 km sun-synchronous orbit.[3] StriX delivers wide-area coverage with a nominal 30 km swath and supports revisit intervals of approximately one day for priority areas, with tasking available to commercial customers.[4] Primary application areas include ground subsidence monitoring, flood extent mapping, disaster damage assessment, transport infrastructure inspection, and urban change detection. The constellation is designed for global commercial SAR data delivery with an emphasis on disaster response and infrastructure management.[3]
