As radar information isn't affected by the overcast cover, SpaceEye utilizes the Sentinel-1 mission's **Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)** sensor as a benchmark information source.

**Space Eye** then, at that point, joins this radar information with past optical symbolism to make an AI picture forecast of how it shows up underneath the mists.
