About us

We’re Making Space Simple

Loft is a space infrastructure company that provides a simple, fast, and reliable way to deploy missions to low Earth orbit.

Use the vantage point of space.

We have developed a standardized satellite platform that can be configured to fly any customer mission. With our own hardware and software abstraction layers on top of a commodity satellite bus, our platform is truly turnkey and plug-and-play.

Loft offers our customers unbeatable speed-to-orbit by removing the non-recurring engineering that is the root cause of schedule unpredictability and cost overruns. We bypass typical aerospace lead times by maintaining an inventory of fully assembled satellite platforms at our Integration and Test facility in Golden, CO.

Loft handles all elements of the process of deploying and operating space infrastructure on the customer’s behalf, so that customers can focus their time and resources entirely on their mission.

We fly any payload that fits within any standard satellite platform. Many customers also deploy virtual, or software-only, missions directly to our satellites to process and analyze data to support near-real time decision making.

We partner with organizations across the space economy:
from commercial space startups, to established aerospace and defense primes, to cloud and AI companies, to government agencies all over the world.

We have a diverse and international team from all over the world. We operate in three locations:
San Francisco, California
Golden, Colorado
Toulouse, France

Why Loft?

Our hardware and software abstraction layers, the Hub and Cockpit, remove the complexity of space missions.

We have an inventory of pre-assembled satellite platforms and pre-booked launches, so that we’re ready when you are.

We leverage commodity satellite buses with the proven heritage of over 600 copies on-orbit.
