of information

The new Blue Horizons series, featuring an ICEYE film produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, addresses the challenges facing our world's oceans. Explore the full series at BBC.com.

Our connection with the ocean runs deeper than we can fully grasp. Life on Earth began in its depths, and the ocean continues to impact our daily lives, in ways we can see and ways we have yet to understand. But human activity has significantly altered this vital ecosystem. So, how can we positively impact and help protect our seas?

The Blue Horizons series delves into our intrinsic connection with the ocean. This unique online film series, featuring a film produced for ICEYE, examines how the ocean affects each and every one of us – from supporting ecosystems that sustain livelihoods to the everyday products we use and the vital water we need to survive.

Ocean facts — 

  • Oceans cover 71% ICEYE_BBC_facts-animation_oceans-cover_180x60 (1) of Earth's surface

    ICEYE's SAR satellite constellation capacity can cover every inch of Earth.

  • Up to 2 million marine species

    ICEYE provides reliable and timely data that can be used to map oil spills, detect illegal fishing, monitor traffic and other immediate threats to marine wildlife - as well as to study long-term changes such as the melting of sea ice.

  • Oceans produce over 50% ICEYE_BBC_facts-animation_01_180x60 (1) of our oxygen

    ICEYE’s satellites track coastal ecosystems, changes in sedimentation, sea level and ice cover – issues that affect marine ecosystems that are essential for oxygen production.

  • $1.5 trillion economic impact

    Oceans are vital for trade and traffic of modern societies, providing employment and livelihood for millions. ICEYE enables monitoring maritime activities and conditions to ensure safety at sea.

Ocean health is urgently threatened by

melting sea ice,

flooding,

rising temperatures,

pollution and more.

  • Synthetic Aperture Radar ICEYE_BBC_facts-animation_SAR_180x60 (1)

    Award-winning engineering enables ICEYE’s SAR satellites to be small and affordable, yet incredibly powerful imaging areas up to 84,000 km² and zooming in at very high resolution down to 50 cm.

  • Imaging in all conditions

    SAR satellites can see through clouds, smoke, ash, fog and even total darkness.

  • World’s largest ICEYE_BBC_facts-animation_constellation_180x60 (1) SAR constellation

    ICEYE owns and operates the world's largest SAR satellite constellation in orbit, with more satellite launches planned.

  • Unprecedented change detection

    Having hundreds of locations imaged daily, or even multiple times a day, enables change detection like never before.

...and turning data into action.

Life on Earth is constantly changing. The ability to monitor and track these changes is key to understanding, predicting, and responding to events around us.

Sea ice monitoring

ICEYE’s SAR satellite data provides researchers and the maritime industry with reliable and detailed information about changes in ice formations, including vast Arctic and Antarctic areas that are highly difficult to monitor.

Oil spill detection

Oil spills from vessels, especially small ones, are difficult to detect, and they are very harmful to the environment – these small spills may represent up to 80% of total oil spillage globally. SAR data offers a quick, reliable, and cost-efficient method of oil spill detection.
