Raccoon in space thanks to SatRev

February 3, 2025

Recently, SatRev successfully launched a satellite that is based on the company’s advanced Raccoon platform into orbit.

Telemetry data from the satellite confirms the mission’s full success. This groundbreaking project was successfully executed by SatRev’s experienced engineering team. Leveraging its team’s expertise, SatRev developed the Raccoon satellite platform, which serves as a foundation for advanced space missions. This solution combines flexibility, precision, and efficiency—key attributes for international projects.

Key features of Raccoon include:

  • Precise Control – an advanced ADCS system enables accurate satellite positioning, crucial for Earth observation
  • Energy Optimization – an innovative EPS energy management system ensures efficient operation even in harsh space conditions
  • Versatile Applications – a modular platform design allows for a variety of payloads, making it an ideal solution for both commercial and scientific clients.

The satellite deployment was carried out by SatRev in a two-stage process. In the first phase, the satellite was placed into a transfer orbit as part of the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission. In the second phase, it was precisely positioned into its operational orbit using the advanced Impulse 2 Mira transfer vehicle. The success of both stages required SatRev’s team to meticulously refine every project detail, meet strict technological standards, and synchronize efforts with global industry leaders.

SatRev continues to develop its technologies and expand into international markets, working with global partners on groundbreaking space projects.

“This success is the result of an incredibly talented team of engineers whose experience, determination, and dedication have enabled us to achieve what seemed impossible just a few years ago. Their efforts have turned our vision into reality,” said Grzegorz Zwoliński, founder and CEO of SatRev. “Thanks to our engineers’ passion and determination, we are setting new benchmarks in the space industry, proving that Polish technology has global potential. Every mission is a challenge and proof that a Polish company can play a key role on the international stage. The future of SatRev is built on our extraordinary team.”
