(25 February 2021 – ICEYE) ICEYE published today its first set of images from the three ICEYE SAR satellites launched at the end of January by the SpaceX Transporter-1 mission.
All three spacecraft have successfully completed initial operations and are now progressing through the calibration process. Once the calibration stage and final preparations are completed, the spacecraft will become commercially available for customers to order images. Radar satellite imaging is used to monitor locations of interest both day and night, and even through cloud cover.
