ICEYE-X46, one of the Finnish company's commercial synthetic aperture radar satellites — spacecraft that fire their own microwave pulses at Earth and read the echo, producing usable imagery regardless of cloud cover, smoke, or total darkness. This satellite is one of the satellites underpinning ICEYE's dedicated national security contracts, including missions supporting Ukraine's battlefield surveillance, Poland's MikroSAR program, and Greece's national space effort. ICEYE has grown from a single 100 kg proof-of-concept in 2018 into the world's largest commercial SAR operator, raising over €1 billion at a €10 billion valuation along the way.
