Optical satellite imaging requires sunlight and is limited by cloud cover. Synthetic-aperture radar is a satellite imaging technology that enables generating pictures of both land and sea, regardless of the time of day and in all weather conditions.
The Story of ICEYE:
The world currently faces three key problems around Earth Observation Data: reliability, timeliness, access. To address these issues directly, the ICEYE radar satellite constellation is here to change the way we look at our world from space.
ICEYE provides commercial access to timely and reliable Earth observation data. The ICEYE SAR Satellite Constellation is capable of imaging any location on Earth every three hours, day and night, regardless of cloud cover.
The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 683736
