MURI, which was launched into low-Earth orbit in January 2023, is not NASA’s first space-based infrared radiometer, but it is one of NASA’s smallest. MURI flies through space at roughly seven kilometers per second as a hosted payload on Loft Orbital’s YAM5 platform.

Microsoft Azure Space and Loft Orbital are working together to democratize access to space development.

Ball Aerospace announced plans April 11 to work with Loft Federal and Microsoft’s Azure Orbital on the Space Development Agency’s National Defense Space Architecture Experimental Testbed program, known as NExT.

Loft Orbital signed the contract with Honeywell, the prime contractor for the Canadian Space Agency’s Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite mission.

Designed to be the standard solution for anyone seeking answers about Earth, Loft integrates, tests, launches and operates the satellites, enabling EarthDaily to focus on finding the answers to what it is trying to track.

Agenium Space demonstrates success in object detection using neural net uploaded to satellite.

Wyvern is expanding their Dragonette constellation, leveraging Loft’s space infrastructure as a service to rapidly and reliably enhance its constellation’s capacity to meet the growing needs of hyperspectral customers.

Loft will integrate and operate the Four Leaf Clover (FLC) hyperspectral sensors onboard upcoming Yet Another Mission (YAM) satellites, beginning in 2026.

Loft Orbital and Helsing have announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop and deploy a cutting-edge multi-sensor satellite constellation for governmental, defense, and security applications.

Little Place Labs is deploying software to Loft’s YAM-6 satellite to pair their cutting-edge analytics with Loft’s space infrastructure and enhance maritime domain awareness under a US Air Force Phase 2 STTR.

SkyServe’s Mission Denali will deploy SkyServe’s STORM in-space edge computing platform on Loft’s space infrastructure. SkyServe STORM will leverage multispectral and hyperspectral data from Loft’s YAM-6 satellite.

Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI) successfully conducted initial demonstrations of its AI-enabled edge processing system onboard Loft’s YAM-3 satellite as part of the Prototype On-Orbit Experimental Testbed (POET) experiment for the Space Development Agency (SDA).
