I’m Henry Sanmark, a software engineer based in Espoo, Finland. For the past 10 years, I’ve been immersed in spacecraft engineering and robotics.

Currently, I’m working for ICEYE as the Head of Satellite Communications Network. My role involves ensuring high reliability and throughput in communications between ground systems and the synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite constellation. My expertise lies in control engineering, robotics, and space technology. I hold a Master of Science (Tech.) degree from the Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering. I have been a part of the burgeoning Finnish NewSpace industry from its inception, beginning with the Aalto-1 CubeSat mission..

Outside of my professional life, I’m a laid-back individual who gets excited about unique and unconventional things. I enjoy embarking on ambitious projects, organizing events, and exploring new and thrilling endeavors. Whether it’s Finland’s first satellite project, the world’s largest sauna, a rave party, a conference, experimenting with new hardware, or anything else, I embrace the challenge. I also have a passion for learning about technology, psychology, and history to gain a deeper understanding of the world, and I’m an avid reader. Despite my nerdy interests, I’m also dedicated to fitness, training for marathons and obstacle course races. Above all, I’m an enthusiastic gamer who loves video games, tabletop RPGs (both as a player and a Dungeon Master), and board games. Additionally, I identify strongly as a teekkari, and I’ve been actively involved in various projects during and after my university years, including in numerous alumni associations.
