ICEYE X4, X5
ICEYE X4 [ICEYE]
ICEYE X are proof-of-concept prototypes for a planned constellation of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) equipped microsatellites, designed by the Finnish ICEYE startup company.
ICEYE is designed to provide near-real-time SAR imagery. Iceye is working to launch and operate a constellation of micro satellites that carry its own compact and efficient SAR sensor technology. The ICEYE imaging radar instrument can image through clouds, obscuring weather and darkness.
The fourth and fifth prototype, ICEYE X4 and ICEYE X5, were launched together on an Soyuz-2-1b Fregat-M rocket in July 2019.
