ICEYE and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to further strengthen their cooperation in remote sensing of the Earth in the interest of Ukraine’s national security and defence.
ICEYE’s small radar imaging satellites can form high-resolution images of areas of the Earth in daylight, at night, and through cloud cover.
The Memorandum of Cooperation builds on ICEYE’s support for the Government of Ukraine since 2022. In the Memorandum, ICEYE continues to ensure that the imagery it captures pertinent to Ukraine’s territory helps to ensure the security and defence of Ukraine in conditions of armed aggression and is not shared in any circumstance with hostile countries or entities.
The Memorandum also outlines ICEYE’s and Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense partnering to strengthen Ukraine’s space defence capabilities and provide SAR expertise to support defence activities.
Likewise, the Memorandum focuses on advancing remote sensing technology, improving data use for security, and supporting Ukraine’s integration into the global space economy.
Speaking on the partnership, Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE, said, “In line with our vision to improve life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation, we take pride in our efforts to provide objective, actionable data and technological support to Ukraine. The use of new, ground-breaking technology will continue to add significant value to the Government of Ukraine.”
Similarly, Deputy Minister of Defense Kateryna Chernohorenko said, “Cooperation with ICEYE and the signing of the memorandum will enhance our intelligence work. I’m grateful to the company for its commitment to values and the Ukrainian people. I support the intention to limit space imaging over the territory of Ukraine. We must protect the country on land, in the air, at sea, and in space.”
