ICEYE Spacecraft Production in Irvine

Finland-based satellite imaging company ICEYE has opened a new manufacturing facility in Irvine.

The company's U.S. headquarters will host the production of multiple spacecraft simultaneously and also contain a research and development lab, offices, and a customer engagement space, ICEYE said in a statement today.

“With our new production facility in the U.S., we will add significant next-generation capabilities to our space and ground segments,” said Jerry Welsh, CEO of ICEYE US.

The company said it expects to have offices on the East and West coasts by mid-2021.
