High-power pressurized satellite platforms using AI-enabled robotics.

Rovial Space SAS has a bold and ambitious vision to become the critical enabler of the new space economy by creating Space Outposts™ able to generate abundantly cheap energy and pressurized payload hosting using AI-enabled robotics for autonomous in-space repair and assembly.

Robotic assembly and repair allows pressurized structures with indefinite lifespans and massive power generation structures which are impossible in a gravity well.

External crawler robots with patching capabilities will repair debris holes and structures.

On-orbit assembly allows massive and cheap reflectors and radiators for space solar thermal power generation.

Pleased to announce that Eutelsat OneWeb Group and ROVIAL Space will run a joint 6-month study to look at the potential of future High-Power GEO missions (Mega GEO satellites)! Massive new performance, business diversification, and drastic current mission cost reduction are the compelling reasons to adopt Rovial space solutions!

ROVIAL BREAKTHROUGH™

Rovial Breakthrough™ is our inaugural Solar Space Platform boosting an initial power output ranging from 100KW to 500KW.
Its resilience ensures 15 years of life-span full realization of the platform potential, all in one single launch.

AI-ENABLED ROBOTICS

The epitome of advanced robotics. Cutting-edge robotic technology designed for multifaceted applications in space. These AI-enabled robots are poised to revolutionize space exploration and industry. They excel at:

Status Comment

As of August 2025, the team seems to have disbanded and founders have stopped working as per LinkedIn. Thus, marking it as Dormant.
