On 16 August 2024 the biggest Polish satellite EagleEye engineered by Creotech Instruments (project leader), Scanway (optics) and the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (computer) was put in orbit from Vanderberd Space Base in Elon Musk’s SpaceX Transporter 11 mission on Falcon 9 rocket. Its dimensions are 55 x 150 x 90 cm and weight 55 kg. It can operate on Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) of 350 km to provide high resolution Earth images of 1m per pixel. So far only eight European entities successfully built a satellite heavier than 50 kg. The project started in 2020 at total cost zł 45m ($ 11m) also includes other Polish technology entities. So far the Polish space industry employs 15,000 people in over 400 companies and institutes that have concluded € 140m contracts. EagleEye proves that Poland can create entire space missions, not only components.
