Creotech Instruments plans to increase its production capacity by up to tenfold by 2029, according to CEO Grzegorz Brona. Brona noted that despite Europe's satellite production capabilities, the continent remains reliant on US rockets for orbital launches. Creotech Instruments relies on US rockets for its launch operations, even while avoiding US arms export rules by keeping US technology out of its satellites.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reliance on US launch vehicles highlights a structural dependency in European space efforts. Last year, the US conducted 193 orbital launches compared to Europe's 8. Creotech Instruments, which built four satellites for Poland’s MikroGlob military programme, used SpaceX for those launches.
