ICEYE US Brings SAR Data to SkyFi’s Earth Intelligence Platform

3 min read

SkyFi and ICEYE 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 improve access to commercial radar imaging. The integration isn’t live yet, but the two teams are aligned, and ICEYE tasking and archive access will soon be available through SkyFi’s web, API and mobile apps.

The partnership will bring the ICEYE US SAR constellation – currently the world's largest commercial radar fleet with more than 50 satellites – directly to SkyFi's growing user base.  Users will soon be able to request ICEYE US imagery 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 you’re tracking a port, assessing infrastructure, or monitoring a coastline, radar-based imaging from ICEYE US will soon be an option.

"This partnership represents more than just 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 users. ICEYE US's SAR technology operates 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 US satellites utilize advanced phased-array radar systems that enable responsive tasking and support multiple collection modes, including stripmap, spotlight, and sliding spotlight imaging. The company operates both a global commercial constellation and a dedicated U.S. entity serving national security clients, ensuring broad market coverage while maintaining security compliance. 

Strategic Platform Integration

SkyFi's mission to reduce barriers to Earth observation data aligns closely with ICEYE US commitment to providing SAR data as a global source of truth. The 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 advanced radar imaging to our platform, helping SkyFi customers get faster, more reliable answers—no matter the weather or time of day,” said Ileisa Lambert, Director of Partnerships at SkyFi. “It’s a major step forward for our users in the U.S. and worldwide, and just the beginning of what we see as a long-term collaboration.” The technical integration will enable users to search, preview, and order ICEYE US 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.

Partnership Timeline and Future Collaboration

While the companies are aligned on integration goals, ICEYE tasking and archive access is not yet live on the SkyFi platform. Both teams are working to finalize technical requirements and user workflows, with launch timing to be announced once integration testing is complete. 

Beyond the initial platform integration, both companies are exploring additional collaborative opportunities in SAR analytics, automated monitoring solutions, and expanded geographic coverage. The partnership framework is designed to evolve based on user needs and technological capabilities.

Implementation Details

This announcement confirms the partnership agreement and sets expectations for the upcoming integration. Current SkyFi users cannot yet task ICEYE satellites or access archive imagery through the platform.

Future updates will include sample imagery, detailed tasking parameters, pricing structures, and geographic availability information. Both companies will announce the full platform launch across all channels once integration is complete.
