The NRO awarded new "Radar Commercial Augmentation" contracts to Capella Space
As the brief logged it
Iceye is on the STANDING ENTITY WATCHLIST via the ICEYE valuation / EO-adjacency thread; the NRO's own framing ("following successful demonstration under previous NRO study contracts") reads as incremental institutionalization of commercial SAR buys rather than a step-change — does not clear the OPPORTUNISTIC "dramatically accelerates" bar without a contract value, but is real positive demand-side evidence for the EO-adjacency thesis.
