## How it was made

Built in code from published dimensions and photographs, with no image-to-3D generator and no one else’s mesh. 3D model: built by Space Radar from published dimensions of the ICEYE satellites.

built by this project in code (the private tool model-from-images: assemble.py, from a yaml of primitives), from the cited dimensions and the pictures under `references`; no image-to-3D model was used, and no published mesh (NASA's 3D Resources on GitHub, 1 583 paths read 2026-10-13, has none of this craft; its operator is not known to publish one, and a model on a marketplace is somebody else's work)

## Dimensions

- Antenna length: 3.2 m
- Antenna width: 0.4 m
- Stowed height: 0.7 m
- Stowed width: 0.6 m

The SAR antenna has a length of 3.25 m.'; 'The SAR antenna consists of five elements, the central element being rigidly attached to the satellite body and two elements deploying to either side to create a 3.2 m wide antenna array.'; 'power is provided by 1 fixed solar array and batteries' (of the first craft, 2018). ESA, https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/missions/iceye/description, opened 2026-10-13 through a reader: 'Mass' '85 kg'; 'Dimensions' '70 cm x 60 cm'. NOT CITED, taken from the two renders looked at: five solar panels of about 0.6 x 0.6 m in a row on the antenna's back (built upright; the renders show them leaning), the bus as a box 0.6 x 0.34 x 0.58 m behind the middle one, a 0.7 m mast with a small antenna on the Earth side. THE FLEET IS SEVERAL GENERATIONS; one shape stands for all of them
