Rapidly deploy and operate physical payloads on proven satellite platforms.
Whether you’re looking to deploy a single payload on a rideshare mission or deploy an entire constellation, Loft has you covered.
Our standardized, off-the-shelf satellite platform and turnkey mission framework eliminate non-recurring engineering – accelerating speed to orbit and efficiently scaling operations.
Get maximum mission flexibility with a dedicated Longbow satellite configured to meet your specific mission requirements.
Deploy your payload on a regularly scheduled rideshare mission and only pay for the resources you use onboard the satellite.
Rapidly deploy a dedicated, multi-satellite constellation to expand data collection, improve revisit rates, and scale your mission.
We integrate, test, deploy, and operate your payloads leveraging a proprietary tech stack that allows you to spend more time and resources focused on your core mission.
Whereas traditional satellites are bespoke designs, Loft accommodates a wide range of payloads while maintaining an identical platform across missions. This efficiency leads to faster mission timelines, increased reliability, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Our proprietary hardware and software abstraction layers reduce traditional mission complexity by creating a plug-and-play approach to satellite integration and operations that simplifies space for our customers.
Learn more about Loft’s core technologies below, and check out our Technology page to see how we deliver simplified space missions at scale.
The Hub supports a wide variety of standard payload interfaces to meet your unique mission requirements without requiring bus-level NRE. Hub hardware and satellite buses remain unmodified between missions to retain heritage and reduce schedule, financial, and technical risk for every mission.
Cockpit mission control offers intuitive payload tasking and monitoring through a secure, web-based UI that enables customers to seamlessly task on-orbit resources from across Loft’s fleet of LEO satellites. API integration options are also available for connecting to existing mission operations tools.
Payload and mission requirements are evaluated against our platform's capabilities to establish feasibility, pricing, and preliminary accommodation.
We collaborate closely with you to design your mission and establish the Mission Service Level Agreement (SLA) and schedule.
Your mission type and requirements drive your configuration with the Hub, our universal payload adapter that acts as the brain of the spacecraft.
The Hub provides an abstraction layer between your payload and the satellite bus by providing standardized interfaces for power, command & control, compute, and communications.
During mission development, we send you a HubKit to validate your payload’s hardware and software interfaces and ensure seamless payload integration with the Hub and the satellite.
Once compatibility is confirmed, the payload is sent to Loft for integration and testing.
Loft handles the entire launch integration campaign – simplifying your mission and reducing the burden placed on your teams to integrate your satellite with the launch vehicle.
By pre-booking launch capacity years in advance we can assure you a ride to space without waiting years for a manifest opening.
Loft commissions the satellite after launch and handles all day-to-day flight operations.
Once your payload is commissioned, our Cockpit mission control software allows you to task and monitor your payload for the life of your mission – abstracting away the complexity of traditional satellite operations.
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.
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.
