ICEYE US Chosen by NASA to Provide Radar Data for Earth Science Research

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 11, 2024

ICEYE US, a leading provider of radar satellite imaging for Earth monitoring, announced its selection by NASA to supply synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. The agreement is a 5-year fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded to multiple companies.

Since 2020, NASA's CSDA program has been acquiring data from commercial sources, including ICEYE, to support the scientific research objectives of the Earth Science Division.

"NASA's Earth Science objectives are invaluable for exploring and protecting our planet. We remain grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting NASA's mission with our data," said Eric Jensen, CEO of ICEYE US. "NASA researchers, collaborating scientists, and academic partners will enjoy expanded access to a reliable, accurate radar data stream from the world's largest commercial SAR constellation. We look forward to enabling the scientific discoveries that lie ahead."

NASA has emphasized the importance of commercial remote sensing data in tracking changes across Earth's surface. The increasing impact of climate change makes these data sources more crucial than ever.

Unlike traditional Earth observation satellites, SAR satellites can gather data day and night, through cloud cover, and under challenging conditions. SAR technology's millimeter-level accuracy allows detailed analysis of Earth's surface features, which is vital for scientific research. ICEYE's constellation stands out by offering both wide-area and targeted datasets with a high revisit rate, enhancing its scientific value and supporting critical research.
