Satellite Missions Catalogue Multi-purpose imagery (land) Land surface imagery The ICEYE constellation is a constellation of X-band SAR Satellites. The ICEYE satellites provide high-resolution images the Earth’s surface to enable better decision making based on the Earth observation data. The first satellite of the constellation was launched in December 2018. Related Resources Mission Capabilities Each satellite of the ICEYE constellation carries an X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), allowing the instruments to “see” through darkness, clouds and rain to observe Earth at all times. ICEYE uses the X-band frequency of 9.75 GHz at a wavelength of around 3 cm, and has a pulse rate frequency of 2-10 kHz. ICEYE’s ability to persistently monitor locations is critical in order to detect high-frequency change and respond to real events that require a lot of decision-making; examples of this include natural disasters such as floods, vessel monitoring, and oil spill monitoring. ICEYE data is used in a variety of industries, including insurance, financial, energy, utilities, mining, civil, maritime and security. Performance Specifications ICEYE’s X-band SAR operates in four modes—Spot, Spot Large Extended Area (SLEA), Strip, and Scan—providing imagery at spatial resolutions between 1 and 15 m, covering scenes from 5 to 100 km², with incidence angles between 15° and 35°. Each ICEYE satellite operates in a sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of approximately 97.7° and an orbital period of about 96 minutes, corresponding to a 17-day ground track repeat cycle for a single spacecraft. Space and Hardware Components Each ICEYE spacecraft has a mass of 85 kg, with X-band sensors utilising active phase array antennas that are electronically steerable, allowing the satellites the ability to look both left and right, with a range bandwidth between 40-300 MHz. The ICEYE satellites are able to downlink data to the ground for processing at 140 Mbit/s in the X-band range. ICEYE provides Level 1, 1a and 1b data products, that is, they can either be complex images which have both amplitude and phase values, or amplitude images which have amplitude-only pixels. ICEYE Microsatellites Constellation The ICEYE Constellation is a fleet of small X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites designed to provide persistent, all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation for commercial and government users. Rather than relying on a single satellite, ICEYE’s approach is to scale up a dense, agile constellation of microsatellites in low Earth orbit to deliver frequent revisit imaging and near-real-time change detection across the globe. Since the launch of its first SAR satellites in 2018, ICEYE has rapidly expanded its constellation. By late 2025, the company had launched over 60 satellites into orbit, and the fleet now blends commercial and sovereign missions, with satellites serving both ICEYE’s own data services as well as dedicated national programs. A key design philosophy of the constellation is persistent monitoring: by operating a large number of satellites in phased orbital planes, ICEYE can revisit individual locations multiple times per day, a capability far beyond what traditional single-satellite SAR missions achieve. This rapid access to updated imagery enables users to detect changes due to natural disasters, infrastructure shifts, maritime activity, or security events in near real time. The constellation also continues to evolve technologically. Newer satellites, including fourth-generation (Gen4) SAR platforms, offer enhanced performance such as up to ~16 cm resolution and expanded high-resolution coverage areas, boosting the fidelity and volume of imagery collected per orbital pass. In addition to polar sun-synchronous orbits that provide global coverage, ICEYE also deploys satellites into mid-inclination orbital planes, which increase imaging opportunities at middle latitudes, delivering more frequent coverage where many economic and infrastructure centers are located. The constellation’s blend of scale, revisit rate, and all-condition imaging makes it a powerful asset for a broad range of applications, from commercial risk management and insurance analytics to environmental monitoring and defence intelligence support. 86) 87) The ICEYE constellation consists of over 40 operational X-band SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) small satellites. This new service puts an emphasis on superior reliability, a vastly higher rate of revisits to individual locations, and on objectivity. The service is based on a completely new satellite and sensor design, leveraging recent technological advancements and a New Space approach. ICEYE-X2, operates in sun-synchronous polar orbit featuring a 17 days ground track repeat cycle and approximately 15 imaging orbits per day. The satellite platform integrates the SAR instrument with onboard power, thermal control, data handling, and communications subsystems optimized for small satellite operation, balancing mass, volume, and power constraints. 86) Earth observation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Constellation size (operational) Satellite class Small satellite Spacecraft mass Sun-synchronous polar orbit Ground track repeat cycle Number of imaging orbits per day Mission concept High-revisit commercial SAR constellation Each spacecraft carries an active phased array antenna, enabling electronically steerable beams primarily in elevation. The antenna is mounted in a side-looking configuration and supports both right- and left-looking imaging geometries. This design enables flexible acquisition strategies across multiple imaging modes, including Stripmap, Spotlight, and ScanSAR. 86) ICEYE Constellation Specifications Carrier frequency 9.65 GHz

Operating near 9.65 GHz, the radar system employs chirped pulse modulation with selectable bandwidths of up to 300 MHz, enabling fine spatial resolutions down to less than a meter in range. The SAR sensor transmits and receives vertically polarized (VV) signals, providing consistent backscatter measurements suitable for diverse surface types such as urban areas, maritime environments, and ice. The system achieves a noise equivalent sigma zero (NESZ) better than -17 dB, ensuring excellent radiometric sensitivity and image quality. Onboard digital beamforming and signal processing enable agile beam steering and rapid mode switching between Stripmap, Spotlight, and ScanSAR imaging modes, enhancing operational flexibility. The sensor supports both right- and left-looking configurations, maximizing revisit capabilities and coverage options. Designed for integration with small satellites, the instrument balances high performance with low power consumption and compact form factor, facilitating constellation scalability and frequent global revisit times. 85) ICEYE satellites collect SAR images in several standard imaging modes. ICEYE’s satellites are capable of imaging in Stripmap, Spotlight and ScanSAR modes, with Stripmap and Spotlight imagery operationally available for acquisition worldwide. Notably, all imaging beam modes are available in both right- and left-looking configuration. Stripmap Imaging Mode In Stripmap mode, the ground swath is illuminated with a continuous sequence of pulses while the antenna beam is fixed in elevation and azimuth. This results in an image strip with a continuous image quality in the flight direction. Spotlight Imaging Mode In Spotlight mode, mechanical antenna steering in the azimuth direction is used to increase the illumination time, resulting in an increased synthetic aperture and, therefore, better azimuth resolution compared to a continuous stripmap mode. ScanSAR Imaging Mode In ScanSAR mode, electronic antenna elevation steering is used to switch after bursts of pulses between swathes with different incidence angles. Due to the switching between the beams, only bursts of SAR echoes are received, resulting in a reduced azimuth bandwidth and hence, reduced azimuth resolution. To obtain a more homogeneous radiometry and noise floor over the access range, each ICEYE ScanSAR beam will have an individual transmitted chirp range bandwidth which decreases with increasing incidence angle. The bandwidth is selected to achieve a targeted constant ground range resolution in the complex single look data. For detected products, multi-looking will be applied independently to each beam before merging into a combined swath. ScanSAR is currently under development. ScanSAR (under development) Nominal swath width Nominal product length NESZ (Noise Equivalent Sigma Zero) Number of elevation beams SLC, slant range resolution 0.5 m (300 MHz), 1.5 m (100 MHz) SLC, azimuth resolution SLC, range spacing SLC, azimuth spacing GRD, ground range resolution GRD, azimuth resolution Definitions: AASR (Azimuth Ambiguity to Signal Ratio); RASR (Range Ambiguity to Signal Ratio); SLC (Single Look Complex); GRD (Ground Range Detected). The ground segment of the ICEYE constellation encompasses all Earth-based infrastructure and services that support satellite operations, data reception, processing, tasking, and distribution of SAR imagery products. It is designed to enable rapid and efficient delivery of SAR data to customers worldwide through a combination of proprietary systems, partner networks, and automated tasking platforms. At the core of the ground segment is the mission operations and control framework, which handles satellite command, telemetry, and orbit management. This includes scheduling imaging passes, sending telecommands to the satellites, and ensuring health and status monitoring of the constellation. These functions are integrated into ICEYE’s operational systems to allow efficient coordination across multiple satellites in low Earth orbit. Reception of raw SAR data and telemetry from satellites is carried out through a network of ground stations distributed globally. ICEYE uses partnerships with Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) to gain access to an extensive ground station network that spans high-latitude and equatorial sites. This infrastructure supports frequent communication windows and facilitates near-real-time downlink of data as satellites pass over ground stations. Through this cooperation, streaming of SAR payload data directly to processing systems enables delivery timelines as short as about 15 minutes from acquisition to preliminary data availability for customers. 91) Once SAR data reaches the ground, it is decoded, decrypted, and converted into usable image products through ICEYE’s SAR processing and archival systems. These systems generate multiple product levels, from calibrated single-look complex (SLC) imagery suitable for advanced analysis to ground-range detected (GRD) products ready for general use, and store them in catalogues accessible to customers. The ground segment also supports data archiving and cataloguing for on-demand access and reprocessing workflows. 91) The ICEYE ground segment includes user-facing interfaces and portals that allow customers to place imaging requests, view existing imagery archives, and reprocess data as needed. Tasking of the constellation, defining areas of interest, specifying imaging parameters, and scheduling acquisitions, can be performed through API-based automation or via support from ICEYE’s operations team, tailored to mission requirements. In response to demand from government and defence users, ICEYE has also introduced specialised ground segment capabilities such as Tactical Access, which offers reserved imaging slots and secure delivery pipelines. This service can include dedicated ground stations and on-site processing infrastructure that enable direct downlinks and rapid product delivery, addressing time-critical imaging needs with greater control and data custody. 92) 1) ”ICEYE-X2 - Continuous Advancements in Small Satellite SAR,” ICEYE, 2020, URL: https://www.iceye.com/resources/missions/iceye-x2 2) ”ICEYE SAR Product Guide,” Version
