Portugal has ordered two more ICEYE SAR satellites for its Air Force, lifting the country’s sovereign constellation to four spacecraft. The contract was signed by CTI Aeroespacial, the joint venture between the Portuguese Air Force and CEiiA, after personnel inspected the satellites at ICEYE’s production site in Finland.
The additional systems follow the first Portuguese sovereign SAR satellite, launched in March 2026 and already feeding national operations. ICEYE says the expanded fleet will sharpen tasking speed, revisit rate and response time across the Atlantic maritime domain and Portugal’s EEZ, while supporting defence, environmental monitoring and disaster response.
The deal extends Portugal’s control over persistent radar intelligence from space.
