Ibadan, 28 May 2026. – Revolv Space has entered into a contract with Infinite Orbits to provide solar array drive assembly (SADA) units for several of the latter’s geostationary in-orbit servicers, marking Revolv Space’s first mission to GEO and its entry into the in-orbit servicing market.
Operating an inspection satellite in Geostationary Orbit, at roughly 36,000 km, involves higher levels of complexity than Low Earth Orbit. The platforms must withstand a far harsher radiation environment over a long design life. More so, proximity operation with GEO assets demand continuous, uninterrupted power generation, given that a loss of power mid-maneuver introduces collision risks during the maneuver.
This collaboration is consequently Revolv Space’s next strategic move, answering the challenge of bringing proven credibility to the high-stakes GEO market. By supplying units SADA units, Revolv Space enables Infinite Orbits to maximize Orbit Average Power (OAP), providing critical, uninterrupted power generation capabilities necessary for autonomous maneuvers.
Furthermore, Revolv Space will provide Engineering Models and Flight Models of an advanced version of its SADA units, named SARA Pro, suitable for microsatellites and designed to withstand a more challenging radiation environment.
“Going to GEO with Infinite Orbits is a turning point for Revolv Space and truly exciting! It validates our ability to take what we have proven in LEO and apply it to one of the most demanding mission profiles,” said Filippo Oggionni, Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder of Revolv Space. “In-orbit servicing is where space infrastructure is heading, and we intend to be the power-subsystem partner satellite integrators like Infinite Orbits can rely on.”
SARA Pro combines three features that rarely coexist: a compact microsat-class form factor, high power transfer capabilities needed to keep payloads running continuously, and a radiation-tolerant architecture to survive the GEO environment. In addition, Revolv Space will perform a full GEO qualification campaign, including vibration, thermal vacuum and electromagnetic compatibility tests.
“For some of our servicers, we needed a power-generation partner able to meet the specific requirements of GEO in-orbit servicing, including uninterrupted power supply and radiation tolerance, while supporting fast deliveries at industrial scale. Revolv Space appeared to be the right choice to be able to meet our own multi-missions needs,” added Laurent Hauser, Satellite Equipment Delivery Manager, Infinite Orbits
