Made for change detection

SAR satellites are designed for change detection and our unique Dwell, Spot, Strip and Scan modes give you the flexibility to monitor very large areas and zoom in to areas of interest at ultra-high resolution as needed.

Spot imaging mode - default

Dwell mode

Dwell mode helps extracting unmatched critical information from a single image. See every detail in incredible clarity with enhanced image quality, superior information congestion and reduced noise. 

Spot imaging mode - default

Spot mode

Spot mode enables very-high resolution and largest available scene size for detailed monitoring. Use Spot mode for object identification and highly detailed change detection.

Stripe imaging mode - default

Strip mode

Strip mode is perfect for detecting changes to vast sea and land areas. Use Strip mode to see and respond to natural disasters and illegal activities and to persistently monitor borders, coastal areas or any location of interest.

Scan imaging mode - default

Scan mode

Scan mode can cover an area up to 100 km by 100 km. Scan mode is particularly effective for acquiring wide coverage imagery for maritime use cases, where national security authorities and maritime safety officials need persistent visibility.

Powered by a unique antenna

The antenna on ICEYE’s SAR satellites is designed to enable a completely new level of flexibility and timely access to reliable change detection data. It’s an electronically-steered phased array that can be controlled with software to make the beam point in a range of directions as needed.
