ICEYE

ICEYE operates the world’s largest fleet of synthetic-aperture-radar satellites, imaging through cloud and at night, critical for the persistently cloudy tropics where optical sensors go blind.

Radar that sees through cloud, so a tropical project is never dark for months at a time.

What they do

Inside ICEYE

ICEYE’s X-band SAR fleet delivers sub-metre spot imagery with frequent revisit, independent of cloud cover or daylight, backed by an archive of tens of thousands of images.

Tasking and Catalog APIs let third parties task the fleet directly and pull imagery programmatically.

The radar signal penetrates cloud and detects structural change, making it the resilient complement to optical monitoring in equatorial forest regions.

Climate & nature use-case

Cloud-immune monitoring of persistently cloudy tropics: flood and peatland inundation, mangrove change, and illegal-logging detection when optical satellites are obscured for weeks.
