ICEYE US Brings SAR Data to SkyFi Earth Observation Platform
AUSTIN, Texas, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyFi and ICEYE US today announced a strategic partnership that will integrate ICEYE US synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data into SkyFi's Earth observation platform. This collaboration marks the beginning of an expanded relationship between the two companies, with plans for additional joint initiatives to streamline access to commercial radar imaging. ICEYE US tasking and archive access will soon be available through SkyFi's web and mobile apps.
The partnership will bring the ICEYE SAR constellation—currently the world's largest commercial radar fleet with more than 50 satellites deployed—directly to SkyFi's growing user base. Users will soon be able to request ICEYE datasets using the same streamlined process they use for other satellite data: drawing an area of interest, choosing a sensor, and selecting between tasking or archive options. Whether tracking a port, assessing infrastructure, or monitoring a coastline, radar-based imaging from ICEYE will power solutions to critical GEOINT challenges.
"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."
Expanding Commercial SAR Access
The collaboration addresses a critical gap in the Earth observation market by making advanced radar imaging accessible to a broader range of vetted users through simplified interface. SAR technology enables collection through clouds, smoke, and darkness—capabilities that are essential for monitoring regions with frequent cloud cover or applications requiring consistent observation regardless of weather conditions.
ICEYE satellites utilize a unique advanced phased-array radar systems that enables responsive tasking and supports flexible collection modes, 25 centimeter very high-resolution spotlight to over 10,000 square kilometer large area scan imaging.
Growing SkyFi's Value for Customers
SkyFi's mission to reduce barriers to Earth observation data aligns closely with the ICEYE US commitment to providing SAR data as a global source of truth. The SkyFi platform currently offers optical, SAR, hyperspectral, and aerial imagery from multiple providers, supporting customers across energy, defense, infrastructure, insurance, and environmental monitoring sectors.
"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 SkyFi. "This is the first of what we anticipate will be multiple collaborative initiatives."
The technical integration will enable users to search, preview, and order ICEYE data directly through SkyFi's interface, with enterprise customers gaining automated tasking capabilities through the platform's APIs. Applications will span maritime monitoring, border surveillance, infrastructure tracking, and disaster response.
