| Popis: |
The ICEYE constellation features the first operational mi-crosatellite based X-band SAR sensors suitable for all-weather day-and-night Earth Observation. ICEYE microsatellites feature an active phased array antenna with beam steering capabilities in the along and cross-track directions, that allow ScanSAR and TOPSAR modes to be operated. Additionally, lightweight platforms are more agile and have better mechanical pointing capabilities that enable very long dwell, staring Spotlight modes. In this paper we report on both of these aspects and on the status of the ICEYE constellation and describe the characteristics of the aforementioned modes. |
