Year behind
"ICEYE plans to launch nine SAR satellites by the end of 2019. " |
| Notes |
- 21 launch agreement with Vector Space Systems. 10 platform agreement with York Space Systems.
- One hosted payload on York Space Systems Harbinger satellite launched in 2019.
- Established a new line of business focused on delivering fully operational satellite missions to customers looking to get their own orbital SAR capabilities.
- MDA and ICEYE announced at the 2021 World Satellite Business Week event that they have entered into an agreement for ICEYE to supply an X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) spacecraft for CHORUS, MDA’s next generation commercial Earth observation mission. A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS brings together diverse and unique imagery and data sources, changing how and when we see the world by providing a new level of real-time insight and innovative Earth observation services.
- ICEYE and SATLANTIS Propose New Tandem4EO Constellation, Combining Radar and Optical Imaging for Europe. The new constellation is planned to be launched as a collection of four satellites in total, each capable of under 1-meter resolution imaging.
- Bayanat, Yahsat and ICEYE Announce an Ambitious Program to Broaden Commercial Opportunities across the UAE Space-Ecosystem. The program aims to develop a constellation of five LEO SAR satellites with the first satellite scheduled for launch in Q1 2024.
- 5 years ago today we launched ICEYE's second satellite, ICEYE-X2. In that time it has travelled around 1.2 billion km around the earth and each day it is baked and frozen 15 times as it moves from direct sunlight into the planet's shadow. Yet it still functions as a critical part of our satellite Fleet.
