ICEYE-X65, one of the first ICEYE satellites deployed into an unusual 45° inclination — a marked departure from the sun-synchronous polar orbits typical of the rest of the fleet. This lower-inclination orbit trades polar coverage for better revisit performance over equatorial and mid-latitude regions, letting ICEYE tailor part of its constellation specifically to customers whose areas of interest sit closer to the equator than the poles.
