What does the Wroclaw startup SatRev do?
What is the mission of the BlueBON satellite in space?
What are the results of the cooperation between SatRev and the South Korean company TelePIX?

In 2023, we wrote on wroclaw.pl that the Wroclaw-based company SatRev had signed an agreement with the South Korean company TelePIX. As part of the contract, the Wrocław-based company developed a satellite carrying an AI optical instrument from TelePIX. Now the results of this agreement are visible, and the company is revealing details of the cooperation.

The BlueBON satellite and the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission

SatRev has announced that BlueBON, an 11-kg satellite, was launched into orbit on January 14, 2025, as part of the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission, using Impulse Space's Mira orbital transfer vehicle, which delivered the satellite to its target orbit.

Thanks to the use of the transfer vehicle, initial contact was established after only four hours.
Following the successful completion of the LEOPS (Launch and Early Operations) phase, during which engineers from the Wrocław-based company SatRev tested all subsystems, the full operational phase of the mission began in cooperation with TelePIX, the main contractor for the mission and the sole developer of the multispectral optical payload and Blue Carbon AI satellite software. – BlueSCOPE.

SatRev satellite and mission control center in Wroclaw

The satellite, identified by NORAD as 62688, is performing its planned tasks from the mission control center in Wroclaw, using proprietary software and SatRev's own ground stations, located in Wroclaw, among other places, enabling communication in the UHF and S bands.

Data transmission in the X band is carried out via ground stations located in Sweden and South Africa, operating in the GSaaS (Ground Station as a Service) model.

“Blue carbon” and the BlueBON mission

The BlueBON mission was designed and launched specifically to monitor “blue carbon” – the process of carbon dioxide sequestration in marine ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows, and coastal wetlands – based on TelePIX's proprietary algorithm.

The ability of these ecosystems to absorb and store CO₂ is crucial for global climate change mitigation strategies, and precise orbital monitoring allows their condition and environmental potential to be assessed on a global scale. The planned duration of the BlueBON mission in orbit is three years, according to a special announcement by SatRev.

By August 2025, 50 images had already been taken.

The use of the X-band for communication enables the efficient transmission of high-resolution imaging results, allowing additional tasks to be performed during the satellite's flight and mission optimization. As a result, SatRev and TelePIX have decided to make public the image taken over Yemen on April 29. According to the latest information from Sat Rev, 50 images have already been taken by August 2025! Below is one of them.

The success of the Raccoon platform and optical payload in orbit is the crowning achievement of SatRev and TelePIX's work on building a complementary service that provides sovereign space capabilities. The satellite is only one element of the system – mission control software and access to ground stations are equally important. We are proud to say that the technologies developed by SatRev and TelePIX engineers form a coherent ecosystem – designed, tested, and operating in a commercial space mission environment

Grzegorz Zwoliński, CEO of SatRev.

SatRev develops and implements new solutions

Based on its experience with the project, the company is developing and implementing new solutions in the fields of electronics, mechanics, as well as on-board and ground software.

BlueBON is the result of cooperation with South Korean partner, TelePIX. The project is part of the deepening commercial, military, and technological relations between Poland and South Korea.

BlueBON presents the full integration of TelePIX's key satellite technologies, from system and optical payload design to software and analytics. This is an important step in our strategy to enter the blue carbon credit market by enabling remote, scalable monitoring of ocean carbon reservoirs around the world

Seongick Cho, CEO of TelePIX.

In a rapidly changing world, we need ever-better imaging, but also technological sovereignty and shorter supply chains in critical infrastructure areas. And today, space is becoming just such an area.

January Ciszewski, CEO of JRH ASI S.A.

TelePIX from Daejeon and satellite missions

TelePIX is a South Korean supplier of high-resolution optical payloads for the space sector. The company has a production facility, SpaceLAB, in Daejeon, specializing in the serial production of multispectral cameras for satellite missions.

SatRev from Wroclaw. Satellites and data analysis

SatRev S.A. was founded in June 2016 by Grzegorz Zwoliński, Damian Fijałkowski, and Radosław Łapczyński, the creators of Wroclaw-based studio T-Bull S.A., a leading Polish mobile game developer.

SatRev specializes in the design, production, and operation of satellites, as well as the provision of data analysis solutions.

Since 2021, the company has launched satellites ranging from 1U to 6U into orbit.
SatRev satellites can be used to solve problems related to resource utilization and optimization in a wide range of applications, such as precision agriculture, energy resource assessment, and transportation and critical infrastructure monitoring.
As part of its growth and IPO strategy, SatRev is merging with ECL S.A. and plans to debut on the NewConnect market in the second half of 2025.

SatRev participates in government programs in the US, Australia, the UK, the European Union, and the Middle East.

Winner of the 30 Creative Wroclaw Award

SatRev (formerly SatRevolution) is the winner of the “30 Creative Wroclaw 2017” award, organized by www.wroclaw.pl.

Wroclaw in the space industry

Wroclaw has an increasingly strong position in the Polish space industry.

It is worth recalling that on January 3, 2023, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Polish satellite STAR VIBE was launched into orbit. The Wrocław-based company Scanway is responsible for the project.
In July 2025, we reported that Scanway, as the first Polish company, will deliver a telescope for a lunar mission and create a European system for processing images of the Moon.
