Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk just quietly signed a military satellite deal with France’s Emanuel Macron during their visit in Gdańsk which requires our national satellites to share very sensitive military data with France and not only, because French defense giant Thales cooperates closely with… Israel.

Meanwhile, Poland has been quietly building not one—but multiple military satellites. 

I just got an update that this coming May weekend, a Polish company, Eycore is launching its long-awaited radar satellite into space using SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

And almost no one is talking about it even though it's one of the most advanced futures of power, data technology and will in the near future affect every field of business - with the help of AI.

It uses advanced SAR radar—technology that can see through clouds, at night, in any weather… and track what’s happening on the ground in real time.

In simple terms? Poland is gaining the ability to watch the Earth… anytime.

Poland's Major Defense Investment

My sources told me that military officials have reportedly expressed frustration over the last-minute decision by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to sign a strategic agreement with France covering military satellite communications and data infrastructure.

While the agreement is presented as a bilateral partnership between Poland and France, the industrial participants - Airbus Defence and Space and Thales Alenia Space - operate within a far more complex multinational ownership and governance structure.

Both are linked to multiple European governments, including France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, while Airbus also has significant participation from large international institutional investors, including US-based funds like The BlackRock.

Critics argue that Poland may be indirectly exposing elements of its defence communications infrastructure to a network of foreign state and private interests, rather than maintaining full sovereign control. It raises sensitive questions about who ultimately stands behind the companies and contractors involved in handling or supporting systems that could process highly classified Polish military data.

Supporters? Reject these concerns, stressing that such multinational industrial structures are standard within Europe’s defence and space sector and are necessary to deliver advanced, secure, and interoperable capabilities.

The financial value of the Poland–France satellite programme has not been officially disclosed, but it is widely considered a major defence investment. Based on comparable European military satellite systems, analysts estimate the total cost could range from several hundred million euros to over €1 billion, depending on the final configuration, launch services, and long-term operational support.

The system—developed by Airbus Defence and Space and Thales Alenia Space in cooperation with Polish defence industry partner RADMOR—will include not only the satellite itself, but also secure ground infrastructure and encrypted military communications capabilities.

Eycore - The most advanced, Polish satellite company

Poland’s private space sector is preparing for a milestone launch as Eycore-1, the country’s first privately developed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite, has been fully integrated and declared mission-ready for launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Eycore co-founder Tomek Kusowski confirmed that the satellite is “ready to be sent to space” over the long May weekend, marking the final stage before liftoff.

The mission will take place as part of SpaceX’s CAS500-2 rideshare, with launch and integration services provided by Exolaunch, which handled mission planning, testing, logistics, and deployment systems.

Eycore-1 carries Poland’s first X-band SAR payload on a European microsatellite platform, enabling high-resolution Earth imaging in all weather conditions and at any time of day. The capability is used for both civilian applications and defence-related observation.

Industry partners say the mission is a significant step for Poland’s emerging private space sector. Eycore is only the second fully private European company to place a SAR satellite into orbit, marking a broader boost for European radar-based Earth observation capabilities.

With final integration completed at Vandenberg Space Force Base, the satellite is now fully flight-ready ahead of launch.

Now, let's hope these billions won't turn into a space debris.

It's a developing story. Stay live for more.
