ICEYE and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine sign a Memorandum of Cooperation

HELSINKI, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations for Earth Observation, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to further strengthen their cooperation in remote sensing of the Earth in the interest of Ukraine’s national security and defense.

The Memorandum of Cooperation builds on ICEYE’s unwavering support for the Government of Ukraine since 2022. In the Memorandum,  ICEYE continues to constantly ensure that the imagery captured pertinent to Ukraine’s territory is used in the interests of ensuring the security and defense of Ukraine in conditions of armed aggression and not shared in any circumstance with hostile countries or entities.

The Memorandum also outlines ICEYE’s and Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense partnering to strengthen Ukraine’s space defense capabilities even further and provide SAR expertise to support defense activities. The Memorandum focuses on advancing remote sensing technology, improving data use for security, and supporting Ukraine’s integration into the global space economy.

In August 2022, ICEYE announced signing a contract with the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation to provide the Government of Ukraine with ICEYE’s SAR satellite imaging capabilities. As part of the agreement, one of ICEYE’s SAR satellites is designated for the Government of Ukraine’s use over the region. In addition, ICEYE provides access to its constellation of SAR satellites, allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to receive radar satellite imagery on critical locations with a high revisit frequency.

“Cooperation with ICEYE and the signing of the memorandum will enhance our intelligence work. I’m grateful to the company for its commitment to values and the Ukrainian people. I support the intention to limit space imaging over the territory of Ukraine. We must protect the country on land, in the air, at sea, and in space,” commented Deputy Minister of Defense Kateryna Chernohorenko on the signing of the memorandum.

Oleksandra Ustinova, Head of Ukraine’s Parliamentary Commission on Arms, commented: “I plead with all satellite companies to follow ICEYE’s lead in not selling imagery to Russia. ICEYE has been an important partner for Ukraine in providing satellite data responsibly. We are grateful that they are taking the technological lead within the industry to help protect Ukraine from Russian aggression. ICEYE’s modern technologies will be able to provide Ukraine with an advantage on the battlefield and far beyond enemy lines. I foresee this cooperation to strengthen with time and that together, we will engage in new defense space projects, directing Ukraine toward building a highly technological sovereign space capability.”

“ICEYE has been working closely with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine from Day 1 to support and help Ukraine in building space defense capabilities. In line with our vision to improve life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation, we take pride in our efforts to provide objective, actionable data and technological support to Ukraine. The use of new, ground-breaking technology will continue to add significant value to the Government of Ukraine,” said Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE.

“As an operator of highly advanced space capabilities and as a supplier of geospatial intelligence, we believe that we have a responsibility to prevent the misuse of our services against Ukraine,” continued Rafal Modrzewski, “We ask our peers to stand with us and Ukraine in this approach against unwarranted foreign aggression.”

Owning and operating the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, ICEYE delivers proven and reliable Earth Observation data and solutions. At any given time, most of the Earth is covered in clouds or darkness. Unlike traditional Earth observation satellites, ICEYE’s small radar imaging satellites can form high-resolution images of areas of the Earth in daylight, at night, and through cloud cover. In other words, they can collect images and data from any part of the Earth multiple times a day, with the necessary reliability for critical decision-making.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the new year unfolds, the leading charging solution brand TESSAN proudly announces an inspiring collaboration with the American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata. Together, they are embarking on a journey of innovation, encouraging people to discover and engage with the world around them.

Rachael Yamagata has made a significant impact on the global music scene with her soulful and emotionally resonant songs. Her music, characterized by its raw honesty and heartfelt lyrics, has garnered a dedicated international fanbase. Rachael has toured extensively and has a strong following. Her ability to connect deeply with audiences through her music has solidified her place as a beloved and influential artist on the global stage.

For Rachael, a journey represents the balance between planning future destinations and appreciating the present moment. It is a rich tapestry of life, interwoven with new encounters and personal growth. This vision aligns seamlessly with the “connection” concept of TESSAN’s mission, resulting in a strong partnership between TESSAN and Rachael.

Rachael’s experiences as an international traveler have shaped her perspective on the essentials needed for a seamless journey. She emphasizes the importance of efficient packing when traveling, particularly for tours. “You can only take so much because you go on trains, planes, you’re walking through cities, you’re getting cabs, you’re literally changing cities every day,” she shared.

One of Rachael’s main travel challenges is balancing the need to bring essential items without overpacking. TESSAN’s WTA series travel adapter emerges as an indispensable companion to address such challenges during modern travelers’ global exploration. As a user of the WTA series, Rachael finds the series highly appealing due to its excellent connectors, lightweight design, compact size, durability, fast charging capabilities, and ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously.

Weighing only 0.62lb and featuring a compact design, the WTA series fits easily into any luggage. Its classic slider design includes EU, UK, and US plugs, with rotatable pins for sockets in Australia and China, ensuring compatibility worldwide. GaN technology contributes to its lightweight nature and enables faster charging while maintaining a stable temperature, preventing overheating. The WTA series can simultaneously charge multiple devices, including iPhones, Macs, iPads, cameras, and CPAP machines. Built-in safety features, such as double-patented 10A auto-resetting fuses, provide peace of mind when using high-power devices.

As part of the collaboration, TESSAN conducted an exclusive interview with Rachael, capturing the entire process in a documentary. On January 4th, the documentary will premiere on YouTube, offering a glimpse into Rachael’s journey and insights. Through this exchange, TESSAN encourages audiences to ponder “What’s Your Next Journey,” inspiring them to embark on new explorations as a New Year’s resolution.

To support this initiative, TESSAN is launching a series of activities aimed at inspiring users to share the stories in their journeys. Including the sharing of the documentary trailer released on YouTube on January 1st allows participants to enter a prize draw. Then, on January 4th, the TESSAN website will showcase a limited time offer on the WTA series. The excitement will reach its peak on January 8th with a TikTok live event, featuring giveaways of prizes and Rachael Yamagata posters.

This collaboration between TESSAN and Rachael Yamagata is an invitation to explore, connect, and discover new horizons. As the new year begins, it calls for individuals to embark on their own journeys, starting from the comfort of home and reaching out to the world.
