3… 2… 1… TAKEOFF!
3… 2… 1… TAKEOFF!
This week, you will hear these words at the Central Air Force Training Ground in Ustka. The PERUN rocket made by SpaceForest will lift off from the ground, carrying scientific experiments, including the PLUTONIC device.
During suborbital flight, the device will undergo numerous tests, including ones for the effects of microgravity, overload, and vibration accompanying rocket flight, as well as signal reception and time synchronization.
Once the device has been recovered, all data will be precisely analyzed, which may help in the implementation of a production version of PLUTONIC that can be used even in extreme conditions.
Thank you for EUDIS Defense Hackathon 2025!

EUDIS Defense Hackathon 2025 in Gdańsk this fall!
Invitation to the Polish edition of the EUDIS hackathon, which will take place on October 17-19 in Gdańsk
From October 17 to 19, 2025, Gdańsk will become one of the centers of European defense innovation. The Gdańsk Science and Technology Park will host the Polish edition of EUDIS Defence Hackathon Autumn 2025, organized by Blue Dot Solutions together with the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. The event will be hybrid – you can join both on-site and remotely!
The hackathon is part of the European initiative EUDIS – EU Defense Innovation Scheme, implemented by the European Commission and supported by the European Defense Fund. It is a unique project in which hackathons focused on creating innovative solutions for European defense and security are held simultaneously in several EU countries and Norway.
The winning teams not only receive financial prizes, but also undergo mentoring and have the opportunity to present their ideas to representatives of European institutions.
The topics covered by the Gdańsk edition concern areas that are key to modern defense:
1. Protection of space resources – the growing number of satellites and potential threats related to their operation, such as collisions, cyberattacks, and signal interference, increase the need to develop new tools for monitoring, analyzing, and neutralizing risks in space.
2. Space technologies for defense – how can Earth observation, satellite navigation, and secure communication solutions be used to support military operations? Several scenarios can be mentioned, such as those related to missile defense, responding to hybrid threats, and improving operations in multi-domain environments.
3. Sovereign air defense – innovations related to drone systems, autonomous navigation, artificial intelligence (including threat recognition), and UAV detection and neutralization. The adaptation of space technologies for the air domain is also important – in space control systems or rapid equipment prototyping.
Prizes:
1st place – PLN 10,000
2nd place – PLN 3,000
3rd place – PLN 2,000
Bonus prizes from event partners (stay tuned)
Who can participate?
You don’t have to be an expert on space or the military. All you need is:
– to be at least 18 years old,
– to be a citizen or resident of an EU country, Norway, or Ukraine,
– to express a desire to create innovative ideas!
EUDIS Defence Hackathon Autumn 2025 is a great opportunity to meet experts, gain experience, make new contacts, and smoothly enter the world of defense and space innovation!
Registration for the Polish edition is now open! You can find the form on the Taikai platform: SIGN UP HERE!

Alternative time source and satellite radar for agriculture – Blue Dot Solutions has completed two ESA projects
Gdańsk, July 21, 2025.
The second Pole in space has already completed research on the International Space Station, and various technologies with “made in space” elements are being developed on Earth. Blue Dot Solutions, a Gdansk-based company, has just completed two important projects to make it possible to practically “take advantage of space” on Earth. The technology used in one of these projects was recently tested on the ISS as part of the Axiom-4 mission.
The first project is designed to provide independent access to time in the event of failure or specially induced interference with GPS/GNSS signals. In contrast, the second project supports agriculture with advanced algorithms for processing satellite radar images.
Meet two projects that bridge space and everyday life:
- PLUTONIC, an alternative to GPS/GNSS source of time information for simpler, remote and mobile devices.
- Canola EO, which is advanced algorithms that process SAR radar images from European satellites for identifying different types of crops.
PLUTONIC, security of time in an era of GPS/GNSS interference
PLUTONIC, security of time in
an era of GPS/GNSS interference
The PLUTONIC device uses a new ground source of time information – Polish Radio’s First Program on 225 kHz. The coverage of this radio and time information includes much of central, eastern and southeastern Europe. Along these parts of Europe, there is currently a serious problem of GPS/GNSS signal jamming. As a result, many devices, including civilian ones, are already failing to perform some or even all of their tasks properly.
Many devices, including those in Poland, use GPS/GNSS not only for location, but also to provide timing information. With GNSS jamming, as well as inside buildings and underground, access to time information is at least difficult. This can mean many problems, including lack of access to the service or even a serious threat of cyber attack. Meanwhile, time information from GPS/GNSS sources is used by tens of thousands of devices, including electric car chargers, remote infrastructure components and also security-related devices of all types of mobility.
In a recent project, Blue Dot Solutions tested a combination of a time source and a radiation dosimeter. What is interesting, the radiation dosimeter comes from a Hungarian company whose same units are currently being tested on the International Space Station as part of the Axiom-4 mission.
Krzysztof Kanawka, CEO of Blue Dot Solutions: simple and easy devices are urgently needed to allow greater independence from the increasingly jammed GPS/GNSS signal. That solution – on a regional scale – could be PLUTONIC.
PLUTONIC is currently on TRL-7 and in the second half of 2025 Blue Dot Solutions will begin initial device offerings to its first customers.
The project was developed with funding from the European Space Agency (ESA) under the Spark Funding program.

Canola EO – satellite support of agriculture also through clouds
Canola EO – satellite support
of agriculture also through clouds
Canola EO is a solution that detects and monitors different types of crops with a precision of more than 96%. It uses advanced algorithms that process data from radar satellites (SAR), also based on artificial intelligence. Thanks to SAR technology, Canola EO works regardless of the weather or time of day, as the radar can also “see” through clouds and in the dark. The solution helps farmers react faster to crop changes, make more accurate decisions and increase production profitability.
Adam Piech, technical officer at Blue Dot Solutions: Poland and Europe need a number of companies capable of advanced SAR processing in various niches. We are one of the first in Poland with verified proprietary algorithms that work and provide specific solutions. Our specialty is agriculture, as Poland is an important producer of crops such as canola and corn.
The Canola EO project is currently at the semi-automated system stage. Canola EO is still under development and in the future could also be used to study the growth of a wide variety of crops in the country. Canola EO can also be a tool for assessing climatic pressures, including those related to changes in plant growth characteristics, under more extreme environmental conditions. Thus, the system has the potential to support the assessment of the suitability of different regions of the country for particular crops.
Canola EO is being developed under the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Business Applications and Space Solutions program.
