Space assets and services are not fully monetized. Commercial payloads on board small satellites, like cameras, sensors, and antennas, work for less than 20% of the time spent in orbit due to limitations in small satellite buses.

At Revolv

Space, we are solving this problem by designing, manufacturing, and testing the next generation of critical components enabling continuous payload operations and full monetization of space assets. We start with tackling the power limitations of small satellites by providing a fail‑safe and autonomous Solar Array Drive Assembly for small satellites.
