The Bulgarian manufacturer of nanosatellites EnduroSat has officially overcome the historical mark of 100 spacecrafts successfully launched into orbit

This anniversary figure was achieved thanks to a successful launch immediately 10 satellites of the company on board the Falcon rocket 9 within the SpaceX Transporter-17 mission. This was a record number of devices for the company, delivered into space during one flight.

All of them 10 new satellites are built on a proprietary sharing platform (Shared Satellite Service). The spacecraft carry the latest payloads for the company's commercial and scientific customers:

Space production: Modules for testing 3D printing technologies directly in microgravity conditions.

Orbital maneuvering: Systems for practicing convergence and docking operations (RPO).

Remote sensing: Equipment for hyperspectral observation of the Earth.

Telecommunications: Systems of high-speed intersatellite data relay.

Company, founded in 2015 year by Raicho Raichev, demonstrated one of the fastest scaling rates in the European aerospace sector:

Development speed: EnduroSat offers a unique satellite-as-a-service business model, reducing the time from the client's idea to launching the device into orbit to just 6 months.

Infrastructure hub: At the end of last year, the largest space center on the Balkan Peninsula was opened in Sofia. Its capabilities allow you to collect and test more than 10 satellites every month.

Capitalization: The project attracted over 270 million dollars of investment, having received support from the leading funds of Silicon Valley, including Founders Fund and Google Ventures.

The launch of the 100th satellite from the Flight Control Center in Sofia was watched live by the first persons of Bulgaria, in particular, Vice President Iliana Yotova.
