ICEYE Satellite Radar Imagery in Multiple Acquisition Modes

ICEYE full archive and tasking products include Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data collected in Strip, Spot, SLEA, Scan, and Dwell instrument modes. The European Space Agency (ESA) provides this data through NASA's Earthdata platform. Temporal coverage and dataset size are not specified.

Use Cases

• Detect ground object movement by analyzing amplitude and phase information in Dwell mode video stacks.
• Classify land cover using 1-meter resolution Ground Range Detected (GRD) products from Spot and SLEA modes.
• Monitor large-scale environmental changes over 100km x 100km areas with Scan mode imagery at better than 15m resolution.
• Perform interferometric analysis using phase-preserving Single Look Complex (SLC) data from the archive.

Strengths

• Includes very high-resolution data with 0.5m range by 0.25m azimuth resolution in Spot mode.
• Offers large area coverage with Scan mode scenes spanning 100km x 100km.
• Provides multiple processing levels, including complex (SLC) and detected (GRD) products.

Limitations

• Specific row count, file size, and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Data access and licensing terms are not detailed in the provided description.
