The products are available for download via the ESA Third Party Missions (TPM) dedicated dissemination service and catalogue. The data is collection based and allows data browse and download through the treeview as well as via geographical search using a static map.

The products can also be discovered through ESA's EO Catalogue (EO CAT), which allows users to browse and download products among the available datasets from ESA and Third Party Missions and instruments, using various criteria (spatial, temporal). 

For further information about the EO Sign In Service you can visit TellUs.

ESA internal users can use their ESAAD account.

Should you need support to access the data, please contact EOHelp.

Description

The ICEYE ESA archive collection consists of ICEYE Level 1 products requested by ESA supported projects over their areas of interest around the world. The dataset regularly grows as ESA collects new products over the years.

Three different modes are available:

  • Spot: With a slant resolution of 50 cm in range by 25 cm in azimuth that translated into the ground generates a ground resolution of 1 m over an area of 5 km x 5 km. Due to multi-looking, speckle noise is significantly reduced
  • Strip: The ground swath is 30 x 50 km2 and the ground range resolution is 3 m
  • Scan: A large area (100 km x 100 km is acquired with ground resolution of 15 m).

Two different processing levels:

  • Single Look Complex (SLC): Level 1A geo-referenced product and stored in the satellite's native image acquisition geometry (the slant imaging plane)
  • Ground Range Detected (GRD): Level 1B product; detected, multi-looked and projected to ground range using an Earth ellipsoid model; the image coordinates are oriented along the flight direction and along the ground range; no image rotation to a map coordinate system is performed, interpolation artefacts not introduced.

The following table defines the offered product types:
