Infinite Orbits selected Revolv Space to supply solar array drive assemblies for its geostationary in-orbit servicers, giving the Italian-Dutch company its first foothold in the servicing market.
The contract extends Revolv beyond low Earth orbit, where it has already launched more than 20 units across four missions and has additional hardware awaiting integration and launch.
Revolv said the award validates its ability to provide mission-critical power-generation mechanisms for advanced missions including satcom and in-orbit servicing; financial terms were not disclosed.
By end-2026, the company aims to close a new funding round as it expands production capacity in Italy and potentially Poland to supply full solar-power solutions for satellites.
How will this startup's GEO entry disrupt the multi-billion-dollar satellite power market?
Is this all-European deal a strategic move for space independence or just business as usual?
