Creotech Instruments signs with Exotrail

Today, Exotrail unveils a new contract with Creotech Instruments, Poland’s largest space technology company and a satellite mission prime contractor, in the frame of a Polish governmental mission. Three spaceware™ – micro will be delivered for the CAMILA Earth observation mission, Poland’s sovereign Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation.

Creotech Instruments provides end-to-end satellite as-a-service solutions for complete mission requirements, from design, supply chain management, manufacturing and integration to space qualification and mission operations. CAMILA project will deliver a civilian system of four satellites designed to support systematic remote sensing imagery over the Polish national territory.

This new contract for the delivery of three spaceware™ - micro propulsion systems, will enable Creotech Instrument’s customers to benefit from Exotrail’s state of the art Hall effect technology to propel their critical Earth observation mission.

spaceware™, and its nano, micro and mini product configurations, is Exotrail’s space-proven fully integrated electric propulsion system for satellites ranging from 50 to 1,000 kg. Thanks to its high level of thrust and modularity, spaceware™ products drastically improve satellite deployment, increases payload availability, and contributes to the reduction of space pollution. spaceware™ has already been adopted by more than 30 customers in more than 20 countries.

Exotrail best seller product, with more than 200 units already ordered an, spaceware™ - micro is a 150W propulsion system delivering more than 7mN of thrust for missions up to 60kNs and more. It provides an unrivalled trade-off between thrust compared to mass and volume efficiency. With more than 25 units in space and a firing time that reached more than 1000 hours, spaceware™ micro combines both the best performance for its class of power on the EP market and one of the most significant in-space heritage.
