ICEYE SAR Constellation

The world's largest commercial synthetic aperture radar constellation, imaging through clouds, smoke, and darkness from roughly 500-600 km sun-synchronous orbits. ICEYE sells tasking, archive, and derived products from its own fleet and uses the same buses for customer-owned national missions. Imaging modes run from wide Scan (scenes up to about 120,000 km2) down to Dwell Precise at 25 cm or 16 cm on Gen4, with claimed global revisit under six hours and sub-15-minute revisit on a dense constellation.

Generation 4 SAR Satellite

ICEYE's current production SAR bus, designed for mass manufacture and sovereign missions. Gen4 doubles antenna size and signal strength versus prior generations, images at up to 16 cm, covers a 400 km high-resolution field of regard, and downlinks at up to 700 Mbps on a steerable antenna. The satellites are software-defined (IceOS) and ITAR-free, which is central to ICEYE's European and allied government pitch.

Space-Based Tactical ISR System

An end-to-end intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance stack: customer-owned Gen4 satellites, on-prem processing, IceOS mission software, automated target recognition, and a deployable ISR Cell that runs the full tasking-to-dissemination loop from a single container. ICEYE says processing a Dwell Fine image takes under 15 seconds and that the ISR Cell can operate if the main ground segment is knocked out. The system is sold as NATO-interoperable and is described as battle-tested with Ukrainian forces since 2022.

Sovereign LEO communications

Partnership with Nokia, announced 1 October 2026, to develop sovereign broadband LEO communications systems that governments own and operate, including satellites, ground segment and terminals. Designed to complement military and commercial terrestrial networks rather than replace them. First communications satellites are expected in 2028.
