Показать описание
ICEYE-X1 is ICEYE's first proof-of-concept microsatellite mission with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor as its payload.

ICEYE-X1 is also the world's first SAR satellite of this size (under 100 kg), enabling radar imaging of the Earth through clouds and even in total darkness. The satellite is also the very first Finnish commercial satellite. The ICEYE-X1 mission aims to validate in-orbit performance of the satellite and begin pilot operations with first users. Use cases for the data are, for instance, monitoring sea ice movements or marine oil spills, and prevention of illegal fishing.

The satellite was successfully launched on January 12, 2018.

None of this is REMOTELY ACCURATE.. This is not real, you created a short video but your technical details don't make any engineering sense.
