Poland has signed a contract with local firm Creotech Instruments to procure a satellite earth observation system.
The agreement, worth 550 million Polish zloty ($134 million), provides the Polish Armed Forces with four microsatellites built on Creotech’s HyperSat platform.
The satellites will feature optical instruments capable of capturing and transmitting Earth imaging data in near-infrared and visible light bands.
The systems are planned for launch and expected to reach a low sun-synchronous orbit by 2027.
The acquisition is “a game changer for the Polish space industry and a significant step in strengthening national technological sovereignty,” he added.
