ICEYE US integrates SAR data into SkyFi Earth observation platform

With over 50 satellites deployed, ICEYE currently operates the world’s largest commercial SAR constellation. The integration will allow SkyFi users to access ICEYE’s tasking and archive datasets through an intuitive process that includes selecting a sensor and choosing tasking or archive options after marking an area of interest.

“This partnership goes beyond technical integration,” said Eric Jensen, CEO of ICEYE US. “We’re working with SkyFi to fundamentally change how organizations access and utilize SAR data, removing traditional barriers while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect.”

The partnership addresses a crucial gap in the Earth observation sector by enabling vetted users to access radar imagery via a simplified interface. SAR imaging provides consistent observation capabilities regardless of cloud cover, smoke, or darkness, making it ideal for high-frequency monitoring applications.

ICEYE’s satellites use advanced phased-array radar systems that support both high-resolution and large-area imaging modes. The sensors can deliver imagery at resolutions as fine as 25 centimetres or scan areas over 10,000 square kilometres, depending on user needs.

SkyFi’s platform already provides imagery from various optical, SAR, hyperspectral, and aerial sources to clients in sectors such as energy, defence, infrastructure, insurance, and environmental monitoring. The addition of ICEYE SAR data enhances the platform’s value for users seeking reliable Earth observation solutions.

“Partnering with ICEYE US brings world-class SAR capabilities to our platform while opening doors for future innovations in how we serve the Earth observation community,” said Luke Fischer, CEO of SkyFi. “This is the first of what we anticipate will be multiple collaborative initiatives.”

Users will soon be able to search, preview, and order ICEYE data directly within the SkyFi interface. Enterprise clients will also benefit from automated tasking functions through SkyFi’s APIs, enabling use cases including maritime monitoring, border surveillance, infrastructure tracking, and disaster response.
