Key Development:

United States: Recent Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Developments

✅ In November 2025, ICEYE launched five new SAR satellites onboard SpaceX's Transporter‐15 mission, expanding its commercial and government imaging constellation and enhancing all‐weather, day/night Earth‐observation capabilities.

✅ In November 2025, those new satellites from ICEYE began routine commissioning after deployment, raising the company's total deployed SAR fleet to 62 satellites globally reinforcing ICEYE's role as a major provider of high‐fidelity SAR imagery to defense and commercial customers.

✅ In September 2025, ICEYE commercially released its "Gen4" SAR satellite model, offering up to 16 cm resolution and a 400 km high‐resolution swath enabling higher revisit rates and the world's highest‐fidelity commercial SAR imagery.

✅ In July-August 2025, NISAR (a joint mission of NASA and ISRO) with its 12‐meter dual‐band SAR antenna successfully passed deployment and checkout phases; by late November 2025 it officially entered its science operations phase and started delivering Earth‐observation data.

Japan: Recent Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Developments

✅ In November 2025, iQPS launched its QPS‐SAR‐14 satellite (nicknamed "YACHIHOKO‐I") via Rocket Lab's "The Nation God Navigates" mission; the satellite was successfully deployed into a 575 km orbit and first communication was confirmed minutes after deployment.

✅ In late November 2025, iQPS released the "first light" SAR images from QPS‐SAR‐14, demonstrating its operational imaging capability over locations in Japan, Kazakhstan and the U.S., with ground‐plane resolution roughly 0.46 m × 0.55 m (azimuth × range).

✅ In October 2025, Synspective completed launch of its seventh SAR satellite (StriX) via Rocket Lab's "Owl New World" mission the first of a 21‐launch campaign planned through the end of the decade reinforcing its push to scale a commercial SAR constellation for Earth observation and disaster‐monitoring services.

✅ In September 2025, Synspective signed a second major multi‐launch agreement with launch‐services provider Exolaunch to launch 10 additional SAR satellites, underlining a growing investment in expanding Japan's independent SAR imaging infrastructure.
