SatRevolution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SatRevolution S.A. is a Polish company established in 2016, that specialized in building small, lightweight, nanosatellites. The company was listed in the NASA's "State of the Art Small Spacecraft Technology" report as one of 12 in the world.[1]

Satellites[]

STORK is a planned 3U cubesat constellation that will consist of 14 earth observation satellites equipped with SatREvolutions's Vision-300 imager, capable of a ground resolution of up to 5 m.[2] In June 2021 SatRevolution placed the first two satellites, STORK-4 and STORK-5 Marta, on the Low Earth Orbit using Virgin Orbit LauncherOne rocket.[3] Two more satellites, STORK-1 and STORK-2, have been launched on 13 January 2022 with a SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket as part of the Transporter-3 mission[4] while another one, STORK-3, has been launched on the same day by Virgin Orbit using a LauncherOne rocket.[5]

SW1FT is a 3U cubesat for Earth imaging purposes[6] that has been launched on 13 January 2022 together with STORK-1 and STORK-2 on a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket.[4]

LabSat is a 3U cubesat that serves as a scientific platform for in-orbit experiments developed by polish academic institutions, including the Wrocław University of Science and Technology.[6][7] It was too launched on 13 January 2022 as part of the Transporter-3 mission on a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket.[4]

Future launches[]

The company announced that it is planning to put the first Oman nanosatellite, called CubeSat, by the end of 2022.[8][9] The satellite is expected to be launched from spaceport Cornwall in the United Kingdom aboard the Virgin Orbit LauncherOne rocket.[10]

Virgin Orbit considers launching satellites from SatRevolution on its mission to Mars in 2022.[11][12]

In February 2022 the Sultanate of Oman, SatRevolution, Virgin Orbit and Tuatara have together signed a Memorandum of Understanding for collaboration on Oman’s first mission to deep space.[13][14]
