SatRev, a pioneering Polish space company, has successfully placed a satellite into orbit based on its advanced Raccoon platform. Telemetry data received from the satellite confirms the mission’s success. This breakthrough project highlights SatRev’s ability to execute world-class missions, driven by innovation and teamwork.
The Raccoon Platform: A Milestone for SatRev
Leveraging its expertise, SatRev has developed the Raccoon satellite platform, a foundation for advanced space missions. Combining flexibility, precision, and efficiency, Raccoon represents a cutting-edge solution ideal for international projects.
Key features of the Raccoon platform include:
- Precise Control: An advanced ADCS system ensures accurate satellite positioning, crucial for Earth observation.
- Energy Optimization: An innovative EPS energy management system enables efficient operation in challenging space environments.
- Versatility: The platform’s modular design supports a variety of payloads, catering to both commercial and scientific clients.
“This success is a testament to our talented engineering team whose dedication has turned our vision into reality,” said Grzegorz Zwoliński, Founder and CEO of SatRev.
Dual-Phase Launch: A Collaboration of Human Ingenuity and Technology
The satellite was launched in a two-phase process. In the first phase, it was placed in a transfer orbit during the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission. In the second phase, it was precisely maneuvered into its operational orbit using the advanced Impulse 2 Mira transfer vehicle. Achieving success required meticulous planning, adherence to rigorous technological standards, and seamless collaboration with global industry leaders.
Satellite Commissioning: On-Orbit Testing and Configuration
Following deployment, the satellite entered its commissioning phase, during which its systems were activated and tested in orbital conditions. Initial telemetry data confirmed the satellite’s functionality.
“The first telemetry data confirmed that everything is operating as planned. This was a moment of relief and pride for our team,” said Zwoliński.
The People Behind SatRev’s Success
The achievements of SatRev are a result of its dedicated team of engineers, technicians, designers, and managers. Working within limited budgets, they have consistently delivered high-quality results on an international scale.
“Every success at SatRev is the result of the entire team’s hard work. Their determination and innovative mindset have enabled us to accomplish projects once thought to be out of reach,” emphasized the CEO.
Future Ambitions: Scaling New Heights
SatRev continues to push the boundaries of space technology, working on groundbreaking projects with global partners.
“Our engineers’ passion and determination set new standards in the space industry, proving that Polish technology can compete globally,” added Zwoliński.
Strategic Expansion and Financial Growth
In late 2024, SatRev announced its collaboration with REAKTO and REAKTO Drone Services to form ORBITRA HOLDING, combining satellite and drone technologies. The company also raised 15 million PLN through a new funding round, supporting its ambitious growth plans, including its anticipated debut on the NewConnect stock exchange.
“SatRev is entering a phase of dynamic growth, evidenced by its recent satellite launch and its plans to debut on NewConnect. The company’s ability to turn challenges into opportunities makes it a standout in the industry,” said January Ciszewski, main shareholder and CEO of JRH ASI S.A., a key investor in SatRev.
