WARSAW, Poland — The Italian-Dutch company Revolv Space has announced that French in-orbit services provider Infinite Orbits has selected its Solar Array Drive Assemblies (SADAs), the devices used to manage and optimize solar energy capture, for the firm’s geostationary orbit (GEO) in-orbit servicers.
Under the deal, Revolv Space will supply SADAs to the Toulouse-based business in what marks Revolv’s entry into the in-orbit servicing market, Filippo Oggionni, the chief operational officer and co-founder of Revolv Space, told SpaceNews.
Revolv has launched over 20 units to low Earth orbit (LEO across four missions, and has delivered more units that are awaiting integration and launch. The latest contract award proves that the company has the technical capabilities to provide mission-critical mechanisms and power generation technologies for advanced missions, ranging from satcom to in-orbit servicing, Oggionni said.
The value of Revolv Space’s contract with Infinite Orbits was not disclosed.
Revolv Space is also advancing efforts to expand its production capacities in Italy, and potentially also in Poland, to supply full solar power solutions suitable for satellites. The business aims to close a new funding round by the end of 2026, Oggionni said.
“We’re now actively investing in growing our production capacity to make sure we can support constellation customers and match their required production rates,” he said. “To do that, we’re working on a new funding round to finance the acquisition of production equipment and facilities, while also adding new senior figures to our team.”
The company describes SARA, its flagship SADA, as a reliable and user-friendly solution for small satellites. In its SARA Pro variant, the solution is designed to operate in a more challenging radiation environment, according to the manufacturer.
