Part of ICEYE's expanding constellation as the company scaled from its initial handful of satellites toward the dozens that would eventually provide near-daily global revisit. Each ICEYE satellite carries an active phased-array X-band antenna capable of both right- and left-looking imaging, using stripmap, spotlight, and ScanSAR modes depending on whether a customer needs wide-area coverage or maximum resolution on a specific target.
