SatRevolution S.A. (“SatRev”
or the “Company”), a Polish developer and manufacturer of nanosatellites and nanosatellite technologies,
yesterday announced that it has secured Series B funding (the “Transaction”) from Virgin Orbit, the US-
based responsive launch and space solutions company that has announced a planned business
combination with NextGen Acquisition Corp. II (“NextGen”) (NASDAQ: NGCA). The Transaction values
SatRev at approximately $150 million, and will support SatRev’s business development.

The Transaction, signed yesterday at World Satellite Business Week, follows a strategic partnership
established by SatRev and Virgin Orbit in June this year under which both companies seek to develop
business applications for the use of nanosatellites. SatRev has to date launched two satellites with Virgin
Orbit as part of the LauncherOne Tubular Bells: Part One mission. Two more SatRev satellites are awaiting
launch as part of Virgin Orbit’s Above the Clouds mission launching next month. SatRev and Virgin Orbit
plan to jointly offer up to 500kg of hosted payload services on LauncherOne rockets, turnkey solutions
for rapid deployment of space services, and much more.

SatRev nanosatellite technologies include the Stork medium-resolution earth observation platform and
ScopeSat, a deployable high-resolution telescope with on-board processing capabilities. These
technologies deliver near real-time and high-resolution earth observation capabilities.

“The world needs Earth Observation data with higher revisit rates at more affordable prices, and SatRev
will address that need,” said Grzegorz Zwolinski, co-founder and CEO of SatRev. “After four years
of research and development by multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers, we are ready
to go to market. Our partnership with Virgin Orbit will help us to develop critical relationships with
existing and new customers and to give us speed, momentum and the resilience to deliver over the long
term.”

The total addressable global market for weekly mapping services could reach $140 billion by 2026
according to Euroconsult. The key to successfully entering this market lies in the ability to monitor Earth
at a high resolution, at a high frequency and at an accessible price. SatRev and Virgin Orbit intend
to jointly address this market.

“Small satellites are now doing heavy lifting across the space sectors and as the technology has grown globally
SatRev has been moving innovation forward at pace,” said Dan Hart, CEO of Virgin Orbit. “With our continued
collaboration, Virgin Orbit and SatRev will drive capabilities into new markets, enabling applications for Earth  observation and more – applications that yesterday were only dreams. Working together,
we will continue Virgin Orbit’s mission of opening space for good.”

SatRev’s current customers and partners include innovators from around the globe, such as SkyWatch,
Spiral Blue, Neumann Space, SkyServe, UP42, AIKO, and many more. In addition, many companies
are currently testing the use of SatRev’s technologies for different uses. SatRev’s current pipeline
of contracts exceeds $50 million and it has already secured a backlog of orders to the value
of approximately $18 million.

The Transaction announced yesterday is expected to complete by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
The total Series B fundraise is estimated to close at $30 million. All existing shareholders and investors
in SatRev will continue to hold their equity, and current SatRev shareholders will remain the majority
owners of the Company at closing.
