Space & Satellites defence companies in Poland

Designs and builds satellite platforms, Earth observation satellites and geospatial drone systems for European defence and civil space programmes.

HyperSat Eagle

A modular microsatellite platform up to 100 kg with full redundancy, supporting Earth observation, communications, security and science missions. Uses SpaceVPX standardisation and ITAR-free COTS components. HyperSat Eagle is the basis for the EagleEye high-resolution optical satellite (1-2m GSD) and forms the platform for PIAST and CAMILA constellation satellites.

Seagull

A synthetic aperture radar Earth observation satellite built on the HyperSat platform, offering 3-5m GSD resolution. SAR imaging works day and night regardless of cloud cover, making it suited to persistent area surveillance and maritime monitoring. One of three satellite types in the CAMILA national constellation.

Develops AI-powered onboard satellite processors that analyse Earth observation data in orbit, reducing dependence on ground stations. The Leopard data processor is used by ESA for in-orbit computing.

Builds space robotics systems including manipulators, grippers and mechanical ground support equipment for satellite servicing, active debris removal and orbital missions.

Designs and manufactures optical payloads for Earth observation satellites and industrial machine vision systems for automated quality control in manufacturing.

SOP — Scanway Optical Payload

A telescope series designed for Earth observation and other remote sensing applications, compatible with micro- and nanosatellites. Supports multiple spectral bands including visible, near-infrared and shortwave infrared imaging with configurable ground sample distance. Custom optical and mechanical design is offered for each mission.

SCS — Scanway Camera System

A compact supporting camera series built primarily to aid satellite decision-making and in-orbit situational awareness. Uses commercial off-the-shelf optics and cameras with modular integration for various onboard computers. Designed to be ITAR-free and includes basic to advanced onboard image processing.

Industrial Vision Systems (CUMULUS, STRATUS, NIMBUS, CIRRUS)

Four modular machine vision product lines for automated quality control in manufacturing. CUMULUS handles static inspection of individual objects on high-speed conveyors, STRATUS inspects continuous raw materials across their full width, NIMBUS is a mobile system for robotic integration in non-production environments, and CIRRUS monitors objects moving chaotically over large areas. All are powered by the proprietary HYDRA platform, which supports 2D and 3D processing with traditional machine vision algorithms and deep learning models.

Builds satellite tracking telescopes, observatory hardware and real-time collision avoidance software for space situational awareness.

Produces space-grade deployable booms, antennas, actuators and subsurface sampling devices for ESA and international missions. Founded in 2013 as a Warsaw-based specialist in compact, lightweight space mechanisms.

Develops stratospheric unmanned aerial vehicles operating above 20 km altitude as low-cost pseudo-satellites. The ULEP-1 demonstrator reached 24,784 metres, filling the capability gap between conventional drones and orbital satellites for persistent Earth observation.

Polish space company developing SAR payloads and satellites for independent radar imaging constellations, with military, climate, disaster-response and commercial monitoring use cases.

Builds safety-critical on-board software for ESA satellite missions including PROBA 3, Comet Interceptor and ARIEL. First company to use Rust for real-time operating systems in space-grade processors.

AI-powered analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite imagery for military intelligence and maritime surveillance. Achieves 90% accurate object classification on SAR imagery. Signed a technology supply agreement with Rheinmetall for ISR capabilities for the Bundeswehr.

NewSpace company specializing in the design, manufacture and deployment of nanosatellites for Earth observation. Founded in 2016, headquartered in Wroclaw, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Builds suborbital rockets, radar systems and space-grade electronics from its Gdynia facility. The 11.5-metre PERUN rocket reached 65 km altitude in its first three-stage test flight in November 2024.

Designs and manufactures satellite communication terminals, SATCOM chipsets and digital telecommunications payloads for geostationary and low Earth orbit satellites, serving commercial, government and defence customers.

Hardware design office in Gdynia specialising in RF and wireless technologies for maritime, space and defence clients. Designs antennas, diplexers and space-grade electronics, with ESA collaboration since 2016.
