The launch of Poland's first military satellite has been postponed to November 22.

The first Polish military satellite, originally scheduled to be launched on November 11, Poland's Independence Day, has been postponed to November 22. This date change was announced by the US company SpaceX, which is responsible for launching satellites for the Transporter-15 mission. The first of three reconnaissance satellites manufactured by Poland's ICEYE company is being delayed, and this satellite is intended to observe the Earth's surface and obtain high-resolution images. Both the MikroSAR and PIAST projects have encountered funding constraints, technical challenges, and project management issues. Notably, this is not the first setback Poland has faced in the space field. A year ago, Poland's space program, particularly the plan to send a Polish astronaut to the International Space Station, also experienced delays.
