About

ICEYE designs, manufactures, and operates the world's largest constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) microsatellites, with over 60 satellites launched since 2018. The constellation provides sub-six-hour global revisit times and imaging at resolutions down to 25 centimeters, with SAR technology enabling all-weather, day-and-night data collection.

The company serves customers across defense, insurance, emergency management, maritime, and environmental sectors. Its natural catastrophe analytics platform provides building-level flood, wildfire, and hurricane impact assessments used by insurers and government agencies including FEMA. ICEYE also delivers sovereign satellite systems to national governments with a federated architecture for allied capacity sharing.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, ICEYE operates through strategic partnerships including Rheinmetall ICEYE Space Solutions, which secured a EUR 1.7 billion German Bundeswehr space reconnaissance contract in 2025. ICEYE US, based in Irvine, California, serves U.S. government and defense customers.
