Sinopsis

My guest this week is Pekka Larila, Chief Financial Officer and co-founder of ICEYE.ICEYE is a Finnish company with offices in Poland and the U.S. that bills itself as having the first Synthetic Aperture Radar, or SAR, satellite in a microsatellite form weighing in at less than 100kg.By comparison traditional SART satellites are much larger needing a lot of power to accomplish their mission. The well known Canadian RADARSAT-2 satellite weighs in at 2200kg and the next-generation RADARSAT Constellation Mission satellites each weigh in at 1400kg.ICEYE is looking to disrupt the traditional Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite market.
