Scanway is a pioneering Polish company delivering advanced optical systems for space and industry. Its portfolio spans high-resolution telescopes for Earth Observation and other remote sensing applications, wide-angle cameras for in-flight rocket and spacecraft inspection, and machine vision solutions that drive automated quality control in industrial manufacturing.

The company designs and develops complete optoelectronic instruments—integrating optics, electronics, mechanics, and software—to ensure end-to-end performance. All Scanway products have successfully reached Technology Readiness Level 9 (TRL 9), confirming their proven reliability in operational environments.

With over ten years of experience, a multidisciplinary team of more than 90 experts, and the credibility of being a publicly listed company, Scanway stands as a trusted partner in advancing space technologies and industrial innovation.

The company operates a dedicated manufacturing facility that includes an ISO-class cleanroom and a suite of optical alignment and metrology equipment. This infrastructure enables end-to-end Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities, as well as rapid prototyping of mechanical parts and electronic hardware.

Scanway also maintains strong in-house R&D capabilities in optical and electronic engineering. The company is open to discussions regarding the development of new systems, as well as the customization and adaptation of its existing product portfolio to meet specific mission and customer requirements, including performance, environmental, and interface constraints.

Key products:

• Scanway Optical Payload (SOP)
  is a camera series designed for Earth Observation and other remote sensing applications, compatible with both micro- and nanosatellites.The SOP offers flexible configuration options, supporting detectors across various spectral bands, including visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), shortwave infrared (SWIR), and multispectral imaging. Additionally, it accommodates different imaging resolutions (GSD), making it adaptable to diverse mission requirements.
  
  
• Scanway Camera System (SCS)
  is a small camera systems series designed mainly to support space missions and decision-making with delivering the information processes flow. There are relatively simple systems consisting of COTS optics, cameras and various interfaces allowing image data acquisition, and basic or advanced processing. Modularity of our solution allows integration with range of onboard computers across satellite and spacecraft platforms.
