Seamlessly deploy and run applications on Loft’s fleet of LEO satellites.
TechCrunch Reports: NASA JPL & Loft demonstrate the first reported visual language model in orbit.
Today, Loft’s on-orbit infrastructure provides high-performance compute, connectivity, and multi-sensing resources to power rapid, AI intelligence from space.
In addition to the ability to run your own applications, a marketplace of AI agents and software applications will allow users to task satellites directly for near real-time intelligence for maritime monitoring, disaster relief, change detection, and more.
Altair is a 10-satellite constellation for near real-time change monitoring that will enable customers to rapidly access and deploy space-based AI applications.
Leveraging the AI-enabled Altair constellation, government and commercial customers will have access to a diverse set of Earth observation sensors to deploy applications across a variety of use cases.
Powerful onboard compute resources support AI/ML processing at the edge to enable low-latency object detection for applications such as vessel detection, asset monitoring, and border security.
A variety of on-orbit imagers paired with edge processing capabilities enable Earth sensing applications such as wildfire detection, vegetation monitoring, and deforestation tracking.
Virtual Mission customers are using Loft’s in-space infrastructure to develop and test a range of applications including cybersecurity tools, compression algorithms, and autonomy software.
Enhance maritime awareness with automated vessel tracking and anomaly detection in waterways
Gain a tactical edge with real-time intelligence on asset movements for rapid decision-making
Strengthen national security with persistent surveillance and AI-driven insights at your nation’s borders
Rapidly detect & respond to environmental changes, from deforestation and wildfires to climate-related disruptions
Take advantage of sensing, compute, and connectivity resources already in space by deploying your applications on Loft’s fleet of satellites. Each satellite carries a unique combination of imagers, software defined radios, CPUs, GPUs, and connectivity resources to support your mission.
Task a wide range of sensors including: Panchromatic, Thermal Infrared, Multispectral VNIR, and Hyperspectral VNIR sensors.
Each spacecraft is equipped with a configurable RF payload that provides RF reception coverage across UHF, L-Band, S-Band, and more.
High-powered CPUs and GPUs allow customers to run data and processing-heavy AI apps at the edge – unlocking low-latency insights when you need them.
Access dozens of global ground stations to support a range of mission requirements or leverage an inter-satellite link for near real-time connectivity.
Loft’s virtual mission platform, Ultimate Edge, provides a containerized, cloud-based environment replicating the edge processing framework found on our satellites.
We deploy your application directly to one or more of Loft's satellites. Once deployed, we commission your application and ensure its ready to start leveraging the available on-orbit resources.
Start executing data collection using Cockpit mission control and leverage onboard compute to apply AI/ML at the edge. Downlink insights via our global ground station network or reduce latency and rapidly downlink data via inter-satellite link.
