SSC and ICEYE signed LOI to strengthen Nordic and NATO space-based capabilities

Signed at the NATO Arctic Space Forum, the LOI targets potential SSC – ICEYE synergies across mission development, satellite operations and launch capabilities.

SSC, a global provider of advanced space services, and ICEYE, the global provider of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), announced they have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) on 20 November 2025. This outlines a plan to leverage their complementary strengths, aiming to enhance sovereign space capabilities for Nordic and NATO security.

The LOI, signed at the NATO Arctic Space Forum the previous week in Helsinki, reflects the growing strategic cooperation between Sweden and Finland and aims to explore expanded collaboration in key space and defense-related areas. It leverages the complementary strengths of both companies to support future mission development, satellite operations, and launch capabilities.

The partnership will explore synergies between SSC’s extensive global ground station network, mission operations expertise, and future orbital launch services, and ICEYE’s world-leading sovereign space-based ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) offering.
