The Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces of Poland intend to launch a series of military surveillance satellites next year.

Both foreign and Polish technologies will be utilized for this purpose.
Vice Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense, Vladislav Kosiniak-Kamysz, emphasized the importance of developing space capabilities in light of the lessons learned from Ukraine’s experience with Russian aggression.
