CAMILA (Country Awareness Mission in Land Analysis)
Partners: Ministry of Development and Technology, European Space Agency (ESA)
Creotech's role: prime contractor for the system and project manager
Constellation: 4 observation satellites and a ground segment
Polish industrial partners
CAMILA is a national Earth observation programme aimed at building a comprehensive satellite system based, as far as possible, on Polish technology. The aim is not only to develop the satellites themselves, but also to strengthen national capabilities and national security, and to secure a lasting place for Polish companies within European supply chains.
The constellation will comprise four satellites: a radar satellite (SAR), a high-resolution optical satellite, a lower-resolution optical satellite, and a fourth satellite built on the new HyperSat Eagle 2.0 platform. The combination of radar and optical observations enables data to be collected regardless of weather conditions or the time of day. The system is complemented by a ground segment for satellite control and data processing, supported by a commercial network of ground stations ensuring global connectivity.
Creotech Instruments is responsible for the entire system: from satellite construction, through launch and commissioning in orbit, to the initial operational phase. On this project, we are collaborating with leading companies in the Polish space sector.
