Creotech is likely to use SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch Earth observation satellite

Creotech will probably use SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch Poland’s first earth observation microsatellite EagleEye into orbit. EagleEye, a 50-kilogram satellite based on the HyperSat microsatellite platform, will be placed in a low orbit and will provide high-resolution imagery of the Earth.

 “We already have a contracted rocket that will launch the satellite into orbit. It will probably be SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket,” Creotech CEO Grzegorz Brona said in a statement. “We plan to launch EagleEye into Earth orbit at the turn of 2023/2024. Currently, everything is going according to plan. However, we have a second launch window prepared in the first quarter 2024," Brona added.

Vice-President for Finance Maciej Kielek underscored that Creotech is observing a growing interest in its strategic products, primarily the HyperSat microsatellite platform.
