Part of ICEYE's ongoing constellation expansion in 2024, contributing radar imaging capacity that operates identically day or night, in clear skies or hurricane conditions. This weather-independence is ICEYE's core commercial differentiator — the moment a disaster strikes, when clouds and darkness typically blind optical satellites for days, ICEYE's radar fleet keeps working without interruption.
