ICEYE is a Finnish New Space technology company and the global leader in small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation. ICEYE designs, builds, and operates a commercial constellation of SAR microsatellites, the largest in the world, providing high-resolution imagery of the Earth's surface, day or night, and even through cloud cover. They offer solutions, satellite data, and data fusion to governments and commercial industries for applications such as disaster management, security, maritime and infrastructure monitoring. ICEYE has partnerships with organizations like the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), NATO, and Geoscape Australia, and supplies SAR data to allied nations.

Iceye U.S. is a subsidiary of the Finnish SAR satellite operator Iceye and has launched 16 commercial SAR satellites to date, the largest fleet of commercial SAR satellites.
ICEYE US launched its first-ever satellite earlier 2022-01 with SpaceX and Exolaunch.
ICEYE US received a contract from the National Reconnaissance Office to participate in the NRO’s evaluation of commercial remote sensing companies operating synthetic aperture radar satellites.
The newly launched ICEYE US satellite will be operated and controlled exclusively from ICEYE US’s 24/7 Mission Operations Center in Irvine, California.
The launch included the first satellite built, licensed, and operated by ICEYE US.
For 2022, ICEYE plans to increase the number of spacecraft built in Irvine, California.
ICEYE launched two new synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellites into orbit.
ICEYE has deployed 16 satellites since 2018, including both commercial and dedicated customer missions.
For 2022, ICEYE US plans to grow the team based in its U.S. headquarters and open an office in the Washington D.C. area to better serve regional customers.
MDA is acquiring an X-band synthetic aperture radar satellite from Iceye for inclusion in its Chorus system.
Both the X-band satellite from Iceye and MDA’s C-band satellite will operate in the same mid-inclination orbit with Iceye’s satellite trailing MDA’s satellite.
MDA will purchase the X-band satellite from Iceye and will operate the satellite and generate the revenue from it.
MDA Ltd. and ICEYE entered into an agreement for ICEYE to supply an X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar spacecraft for CHORUS, MDA’s next generation commercial Earth Observation mission.
Iceye will provide an X-band SAR satellite that will complement a C-band SAR satellite MDA previously committed to build as a successor to Radarsat-2.
ICEYE plans to expand its constellation with at least four additional satellites by mid-2022 with the objective of reaching an average access time of three hours anywhere on the globe.
MDA and ICEYE signed a distribution agreement that allows MDA to sell ICEYE’s existing and future X-band data to select RADARSAT-2 customers and to develop value-added products integrating C- and X-band SAR data.
ICEYE operates the world’s largest commercial constellation of SAR satellites and has launched 14 spacecraft to date.
The ICEYE X-band spacecraft for CHORUS will fly in the same mid-inclination orbit with the identical ground track as the MDA-built C-band SAR satellite.
Finland’s Iceye operates X-band SAR satellites.
ICEYE’s satellites can see any part of the Earth multiple times a day.
