Ursa Space Systems

Ursa Space Systems is an Ithaca, New York-based geospatial intelligence company that turns commercial satellite data — primarily Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, combined with electro-optical, RF, AIS, and other ground-truth feeds — into decision-ready insight reports. The company operates a GeoAI platform branded "From pixels to insights" that fuses 90+ geospatial data sources and ingests imagery from a global network of commercial SAR and EO satellite operators, then applies in-house remote-sensing, data science, and GIS expertise to deliver answers about what is happening on the ground at specific places and times. Ursa Space serves U.S. Government customers — including U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) under INDOPACOM, AFRICOM, and SOUTHCOM, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) under the Luno A and Luno B delivery orders, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), and humanitarian-aid agencies — as well as commercial enterprise customers in energy, commodities, supply chain, maritime, and insurance. Reporting domains span security and defense (border monitoring, military activity, maritime, dark-vessel and ship-to-ship transfer detection, airstrip monitoring), environmental and disaster response (deforestation, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires), and infrastructure and industry monitoring (construction, mining, oil and gas supply chain, power generation, space situational awareness). The platform is currently in beta and Ursa Space does not operate a public developer portal, OpenAPI reference, SDK, or self-service signup; engagement is sales-led through contact@ursaspace.com and tailored to government and enterprise contracts.

Ursa Space Systems is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Geospatial Intelligence, GEOINT, Satellite Imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar, and SAR.
