Order SAR Data

Gain clarity by tasking our constellation

Our radar sensing satellite provides rapid access to information about any location on Earth – day or night no matter the weather.

Our support team is standing by

Believing access to reliable and timely Earth observation data should be easy, we provide tasking options designed to meet our customers’ unique preferences. Start an order by engaging with our customer support team – available 24/7/365 – who offer curated feasibility, collection planning, archive search, order status and troubleshooting services. Call or email for real-time human responsiveness.

Integrate with our APIs

Customers can create workflow efficiencies by interfacing directly with our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to task and receive new and archive data from the world’s largest commercial SAR constellation. We facilitate machine-to-machine satellite tasking, status information, delivery processes and notifications via direct and secure access with no human in the loop.

Tasking order flow

1. Customer request

New image orders with specifications such as area of interest, imaging mode, inclination angles, and other tasking requirements are submitted via email.

2. Order feasibility and confirmation

Once received, the order is processed using the provided imaging parameters to find the best option for image acquisition.

3. Image acquisition

The images are downlinked and the data is decoded and processed.

4. Quality control and image delivery

Next, we verify that the frames contain the customer’s target location, that they meet the product specifications, and that they do not contain any disqualifying ambiguities. The imagery is delivered to you within 8 hours of the data being downlinked, with an average delivery time of less than 4 hours.

5. Archive imagery

As an ICEYE US customer, you have access to a complete catalog of archive imagery that is available to order. Imagery remains in the Archive Catalog for at least seven days after acquisition.

Standard order

Get timely access to images of your area of interest. Once your order is placed, our tasking experts will study the feasibility and deliver an acquisition plan for you to approve. Standard orders consist of:

planet

Area of interest

Define your area of interest in the form of a latitude/longitude pair in the WGS84 coordinate system or attach a KML/KMZ or GeoJSON file to your order.

time

Timing information

Include the start and end time for your order, acquisition time windows, and repeat cycle.

satellite_tick

Acquisition type

Select whether you would like a single acquisition of your area of interest (AOI) or a stack of images of the same AOI over a defined period.

satellite_scan

Imaging mode

Choose the imaging mode that suits your specific needs. Available modes: Dwell, Strip, Spot, and Scan.

box

Required delivery date

Once your order is confirmed, the acquired imagery will be delivered to you on agreed timelines.

document_search

Feasibility study

You can order a feasibility study of any standard order you are considering.

Custom order

Place a custom order when you need increased flexibility like a coverage of an extremely wide area, images acquired within a very specific timeframe, or more frequent acquisitions. Below are examples of options that are currently available as part of a custom order:

satellite_plain

Mosaics

Coverage of large areas by acquiring multiple images.

ground_track_satellite

Custom coverage requirement

Each acquired image must cover a minimum percentage of the area of interest (AOI).

time

Local time deviation limits

Images belonging to a stack or mosaic collection should be acquired within a certain local time range.

delivery_satellite

Long image size requirements

Images that exceed the standard frame size of the requested imaging mode to cover the desired AOI. For example, long Strip acquisitions.

satellite_scan

Azimuth angle deviation limits

Images belonging to a stack or mosaic collection should be acquired within a certain azimuth angle range.

fast_icon

Custom acquisition time windows

For example a 72- or 96-hour time window for each acquisition.
