Commercial Space Infrastructure Supports Ukrainian Military Operations
Ukraine has acquired a commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite through a crowdfunding campaign, providing the country with persistent, all-weather intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. The satellite, known as the ‘People’s Satellite’, was purchased from Finnish company ICEYE and has been integrated into Ukraine’s military operations. This development has significant implications for the use of commercial space infrastructure in modern warfare, as reported by Defense.info.
