From my casual glance, I can see only few images of particular spots and no timeline so that you can go back in history. Seems pretty rudimentary, like the 15 images you get from EOSDA LandViewer that you can only download a very low resolution thumbnail. Did you find the data helpful?

No.
Its frankly hilarious they think they can seriously put the words "SAR imagery from the world's largest SAR satellite constellation" on their homepage.
If money were being charged for it, some might call it "false advertising".
It looks to me more like a VERY limited subset of images from the satellite constellation in question.
Either that, or the constellation in question is minuscule.
Either way, something doesn't add up.

I’m all for stomping out bait and switch, but "SAR imagery from the world's largest SAR satellite constellation" does not imply that you will get all the imagery they have. Same as if i describe a liquid as “water from the Atlantic” it need not be a particularly impressive amount of water.

They are in the business of selling a particular type of data. They are not incentivised to give away their product for free. What you see here is the “first hit is free” kind of sample.

This is exactly what "bait and switch" means.

"Iceye" is a homophone nightmare. Ice? Icey? I? Eye? See? C? Sea?

It's pronounced "Ice eye".
According to the people I know from this company, the original use case was tracking the ice cover of the Northern seas, for both marine applications and climate research (the company is Finnish).

You forgot "Ice Ye" - the latest unexpected twist in the saga of Kanye!

Does that mean he became an agent on the streets? So if we unmask all of the ICE agents it might be like the finale of the Masked Singer?

I was thinking more of a Breaking Bad arc. Pulling off a decent Heisenberg would be a lot easier than some of the other stuff he's done..

I thought it was going to be an ICE tracker from the name alone.

That is a very sour take on Iceye. Based on what I’ve read Iceye is doing better business than Umbra. They can’t be that bad. Also, Iceye has demonstrated very good military performance in helping Ukraine.
