The Greek SAR space segment: radar imagery and a Greek observation system of two ICEYE SAR satellites, launched in November 2025. From the start of the project Greece had access to ICEYE’s existing SAR satellites, so monitoring of its areas of interest and delivery of imagery to the Government of Greece ran while the national capability was built.
