Delivered as part of ESA's Space Resilience Nodes initiative, the services will help the State Fire Service and crisis management teams anticipate floods, track active fires, and monitor river ice through winter and spring.

WARSAW, Poland, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ICEYE, the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space, and the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBK PAN) announced a contract under which ICEYE will supply flood, wildfire, and river ice monitoring to Civil Security Hub Poland (CS Hub PL), Poland's node in the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space Resilience Nodes initiative. The agreement gives CS Hub PL standing access to ICEYE disaster monitoring under a subscription model, rather than requiring services to be activated separately for each event.

A Space Resilience Node gives national crisis management and civil protection authorities rapid access to space-based data and services, delivered into the tools and workflows they already use. In Poland, that node is CS Hub PL, led by the Crisis Information Centre of CBK PAN, with ICEYE among its partners. The Hub combines satellite data, drone imagery, and expert knowledge into ready-to-use information for public services responding to crises, and its experience is informing the nodes now being developed in other European countries.

Under the contract, ICEYE will deliver its full Flood Solutions Suite to CS Hub PL, providing intelligence across the flood lifecycle. Flood Early Warning forecasts large-scale flooding up to four days in advance. As an event develops, Flood Rapid Impact maps flood extent within hours and can update as often as every three hours. Flood Insights then provides more detailed observed flood data, including extent, water depth, and building-level impacts, within 24 hours of a flood's peak, with daily updates as conditions evolve.

ICEYE will also provide a wildfire pilot service that combines OroraTech's thermal detection capabilities with radar and…
