The spacecraft were integrated via Exolaunch and have successfully established communication following launch. Routine commissioning operations are now underway as the satellites enter service.
The newly launched satellites will join ICEYE’s commercial constellation while also supporting dedicated national missions. These include programmes involving ICEYE US, the Polish Armed Forces’ MikroSAR initiative, and the Atlantic Constellation led by CTI Aeroespacial, the Portuguese Air Force, CEiiA and GEOSAT.
The company said the deployment strengthens imaging capacity and resilience for governments requiring persistent situational awareness. The system is designed to provide rapid, high-resolution intelligence regardless of weather conditions or time of day.
ICEYE operates the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, enabling continuous monitoring through radar-based imaging. This technology allows observation through cloud cover, smoke and darkness, supporting real-time decision-making.
Officials said demand for space-based intelligence is increasing across Europe, the Americas and the Indo-Pacific. Governments are increasingly treating such capabilities as operational requirements rather than strategic advantages.
ICEYE said its approach enables nations to deploy sovereign intelligence systems within months rather than years. The company provides complete systems, including satellites, ground infrastructure and training, with operational readiness achievable within 12 months of agreement.
The satellites are also designed to support software-defined upgrades, allowing new capabilities to be deployed remotely. This reduces reliance on hardware modifications and supports faster adaptation to evolving operational needs.
Since 2018, ICEYE has launched 70 satellites, including eight in 2026. The company is scaling production to an average of one satellite per week as it expands its global capabilities.
“ICEYE protects sovereign nations from space,” said Rafal Modrzewski. “The era of relying on a single, expensive satellite for national security is ending.”
“Governments now understand that resilient constellations of many satellites are what give them real intelligence advantage, with answers in minutes instead of days,” he added.
“That is the shift from strategic to tactical timelines, and it changes everything about how nations defend themselves,” Modrzewski said. “Every satellite we launch brings our customers closer to that reality, and we are building the industrial capacity to keep pace with the demand.”
ICEYE said it supports governments and organisations worldwide with defence, intelligence and scientific missions. Its systems are used across six continents to provide monitoring and analysis capabilities.
The company added that its services extend beyond defence to include environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency response. Officials said the ability to deliver rapid, reliable intelligence is central to supporting decision-making in complex situations.
