Protocol Shift: Revolv Space Secures In-Orbit Servicing Contract with Infinite Orbits
Italian-Dutch firm Revolv Space expands into the geostationary servicing market, providing critical solar array hardware for Infinite Orbits' GEO fleet.
GEO Expansion
Revolv Space, the Italian-Dutch hardware developer, has officially entered the in-orbit servicing sector. According to SpaceNews, the company secured a contract with French-based Infinite Orbits to supply Solar Array Drive Assemblies (SADA) for geostationary orbit (GEO) assets. This shift marks a significant scaling of Revolv’s operational footprint from low Earth orbit (LEO) into the more demanding GEO environment.
The Hardware Stack
The agreement focuses on the integration of Revolv’s proprietary SADA technology—specifically designed to optimize solar energy harvesting by orienting panels toward the sun. While Revolv has already deployed over 20 units across four LEO missions, this partnership with the Toulouse-based Infinite Orbits utilizes the ‘SARA’ flagship series. For higher-radiation environments, the company utilizes the 'SARA Pro' variant, alongside its late-2025 release, 'MARA,' which targets satellites in the 300 to 1,000-kilogram class.
Logistics and Scaling
Filippo Oggionni, Revolv Space COO, confirmed that the firm is actively pursuing a new funding round slated for completion by the end of 2026. Capital will be allocated toward expanding production facilities in Italy and potentially Poland. The objective is to transition from a components supplier to a provider of full-scale solar power solutions capable of meeting the production rates required by modern satellite constellations.
Financial terms of the deal remain classified. However, the technical validation of Revolv’s hardware for mission-critical GEO servicing indicates a tightening of the European supply chain for in-orbit logistics and maintenance capabilities.
