iceye api integration case study

Monitor the Amazon rainforest

ICEYE SAR satellite imagery is ideal for monitoring challenging regions such as the Amazon rainforest. Cloudy conditions are not a limitation, vast areas can be observed in a single image, and, thanks to the large ICEYE fleet, satellite revisit rates are high.

How would you use the ICEYE API platform to implement a rainforest monitoring project? Get practical steps for tasking the ICEYE fleet with the ICEYE Tasking API.
