Satellite Earth Observation System (SSOZ) - Mikroglob
Client: Armament Agency
Creotech's role: supplier of a complete satellite system, including the ground segment
Constellation: 4 optoelectronic microsatellites on the HyperSat platform
Status: The entire constellation is in orbit 21 months after the contract was signed
Mikroglob is a program that provides the Polish Armed Forces with their own domestic Earth observation satellite capabilities. Four microsatellites acquire imagery in the visible and near-infrared spectrum and transmit it to Poland. A larger number of satellites means more frequent overflights of selected areas, and thus fresher data where it is needed most.
Creotech Instruments supplies the entire system: satellites based on its proprietary HyperSat platform and a ground segment consisting of mission control and image data processing. We are responsible for the design, production, integration, and commissioning of the satellites in orbit. We signed the contract with the Armament Agency on December 20, 2024, and the last three satellites, Mikroglob-2, -3, and -4, were launched on October 1, 2026, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter-18 mission. All of them have established communication with Earth and are currently undergoing orbital testing.
We are implementing the program based on a license from the President of the Polish Space Agency to conduct space activities. Creotech was the first entity in the country to receive such a license under the new Space Activities Act.
The project is co-financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO).
