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.
