Revolv Space provides mechanisms and power systems for small satellites under 500 kilograms. The company's primary product is SARA (Solar Array Rotary Actuator), an autonomous and fail-safe Solar Array Drive Assembly that enables continuous payload operations for small satellite missions. SARA incorporates sun sensors for autonomous sun tracking and features Snapback, a proprietary backup mechanism that returns solar panels to a default configuration if failures occur. The technology effectively doubles the power supply available on satellites. As of March 2024, SARA achieved space qualification, and Revolv Space delivered power-generation components to two customers for an initial launch planned for late 2024 or early 2025.
The company's product portfolio includes solar arrays, hinges, and deployment systems, covering power ranges between 100W to 3kW. Revolv Space conducts research and development at the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre in Noordwijk, Netherlands, while its product development, production, and commercialization work is based in Turin, Italy. The company focuses on developing solutions for satellites that traditionally operate only five percent of their time in orbit, aiming to extend their operational capabilities through enhanced power generation.
