Liftero and Creotech Instruments have signed a cooperation agreement covering the integration of propulsion technologies with satellite platforms and joint participation in space projects. The Polish propulsion technology developer will adapt its systems for integration with Creotech Instruments’ satellite platforms, including configurations designed to meet the partner’s future requirements. The agreement also supports Liftero’s ambition to participate jointly in larger domestic and international projects, including those carried out for government institutions and the European Space Agency (ESA).
“The integration of propulsion technologies with satellite platforms can enhance the competitiveness of modern and comprehensive space solutions. We believe that cooperation with Creotech Instruments, a leading European manufacturer of satellite platforms, will support both the development of our products and the strengthening of the Polish space sector’s position on the international market,” said Tomasz Palacz, CEO of Liftero.
“Our test campaign for the BOOSTER system this year confirmed all the key operational parameters of the propulsion system. The fact that the system has proven operational in orbit was an important element of our discussions with Creotech Instruments, which led to today’s cooperation agreement. For us, this is an important step toward potentially larger joint projects with an experienced partner, as well as an opportunity to ensure full integration of future BOOSTER system configurations with the needs of the partner’s current and future product generations, including platforms intended for increasingly larger satellites,” Tomasz Palacz added.
Liftero and Creotech Instruments signed the agreement in the field of integrating Liftero’s propulsion technologies with Creotech Instruments’ satellite platforms. The agreement also includes the exchange of knowledge and experience, as well as the potential implementation of joint project and business activities, including possible cooperation on domestic and international satellite projects carried out for government institutions, the European Space Agency (ESA), and commercial clients. The agreement follows the positive results of Liftero’s propulsion system test campaign, which confirmed the quality and reliability of the solutions developed by the company.
For Liftero, cooperation with Creotech Instruments represents an opportunity to further diversify its revenue sources and open the way to larger institutional projects in Poland and abroad. Creotech is one of the most experienced players in the Polish space sector and is currently involved in key projects for the government and the European Space Agency (ESA). From Liftero’s perspective, the agreement is therefore not only a chance to develop relations with an important industry partner, but also a move that strengthens the company’s presence in larger-scale and more complex projects.
“We see strong synergy potential between the technologies developed by Liftero and Creotech Instruments. We value cooperation with local partners that are developing technologies important for future satellite missions and for the growing demands of the market. In Liftero’s case, this means joint work on integrating modern propulsion technologies with the current and future generations of satellite platforms developed by Creotech Instruments. This cooperation may increase the attractiveness of solutions offered by Polish companies in international space programmes and help ensure that domestic technologies become part of an even broader range of future missions carried out in Poland, Europe and worldwide,” said Professor Grzegorz Brona, CEO of Creotech Instruments S.A.
BOOSTER is a propulsion system using non-toxic propellants, designed for satellites in the 30–500 kg class. It is a comprehensive solution that can be configured in terms of total impulse and the number of engines with different thrust classes to suit a wide range of space missions, from constellation projects and in-orbit servicing to return capsules. The first BOOSTER system was launched into orbit in March 2025 as part of the RED5 mission. It is currently operating nominally in orbit, confirming its performance in space conditions and giving the company the flight heritage that is so important in the space market.
