ICEYE sovereign satellite systems
Radar satellites that ICEYE builds and delivers to governments so they can own and operate their own space surveillance.
Why it matters
Many countries, especially in Europe, want intelligence satellites they control rather than imagery bought from a foreign company. ICEYE says growing this business is a main use of its 2026 funding.
How the technology works
ICEYE builds its radar satellites on its own production line, delivers them to the customer, and can provide ground systems and support so the country's own operators run the mission.
