ICEYE US Selected by NASA for Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program Agreement

ICEYE US SAR Data to Support NASA Earth Science Research and Applications Under New CSDA Agreement

IRVINE, CA —March 4, 2026 — ICEYE US announced it has been selected by NASA as one
of seven commercial partners to receive a new data agreement under the agency’s
Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. NASA announced the
agreements on February 18, 2026. The agreement provides NASA-funded investigators
and their designated collaborators with access to ICEYE US’s high-resolution synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) imagery, including Spotlight, StripMap, Scan, Wide and Extended
Spotlight, and Long-Dwell collection modes.

ICEYE US’s all-weather, day-night SAR capabilities are particularly well suited to the
kinds of dynamic Earth processes NASA’s science community monitors — including
flooding, land deformation, sea-ice motion, and infrastructure impacts. The agreement
also includes access to data from ICEYE US’s fleet of satellites operating in Ground
Track Repeat (GTR) orbits, which revisit the same ground path on a predictable
cadence. This enables researchers to produce interferograms and coherent change
detection products — techniques that reveal subtle surface deformation, vegetation
change, and other phenomena that single-pass imagery cannot capture. Authorized
researchers can task new collections and access archival ICEYE US SAR data through
NASA’s CSDA Satellite Data Explorer and related portals.

The CSDA Program was established by NASA’s Earth Science Division to identify,
evaluate, and acquire commercial satellite data that advances Earth system science
and supports applications for societal benefit. ICEYE US was selected following
rigorous technical and programmatic evaluation as one of a small number of
commercial SAR providers chosen for the program.

“Being selected by NASA for the CSDA Program is a meaningful validation of the quality and mission relevance of our SAR capabilities,” said Eric Jensen, CEO of ICEYE US. “The science community relies on persistent, reliable Earth observation to understand our planet’s most dynamic processes. We’re proud to be a trusted data source in support of that work.”

 

ICEYE US operates the world’s largest constellation of SAR satellites, providing
customers with persistent monitoring capabilities and rapid revisit times regardless of
weather conditions or time of day. The CSDA agreement adds to a growing portfolio of
U.S. government relationships through which ICEYE US delivers timely, actionable

Earth observation intelligence to decision-makers across both the civil and national
security communities.

About NASA’s CSDA Program

NASA’s Earth Science Division established the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition
(CSDA) Program to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial providers that
supports NASA’s Earth science research and applications missions. Data acquired
under CSDA agreements is made available to authorized users through established
mechanisms including the CSDA Satellite Data Explorer. For more information, visit
