Check out our new Technology page to learn more about Loft's end-to-end space infrastructure platform!
Loft’s hardware and software technologies abstract away the complexities of traditional space missions to unlock the simple, rapid, and reliable deployment of customer missions at scale.
›
›
›
Launch – The launch provider then delivers the satellite to orbit.
›
›
›
Commissioning – The Loft team commissions the satellite, Hub, and customer payloads.
›
›
›
Payload Tasking – Once their payload is commissioned, Loft provides the customer with access to our mission control software, Cockpit. The customer uses Cockpit to task their payload and execute their mission.
›
›
›
›
›
›
Data Collection + Processing – Now the satellite gets to work collecting data – with the Hub providing onboard compute and edge processing to support customer missions as needed.

›
Mission Definition – Loft gathers customer mission requirements to define their mission.
›
›
›
Mission Planning – Then we collaborate closely to establish the schedule, concept of operations (CONOPS), payload accommodation, and mission Service Level Agreement (SLA).
›
›
›
Payload Validation – Loft’s HubKit is sent to the customer to provide flight-representative interfaces and software that are used to validate the payload to Hub interface and ensure seamless integration following payload delivery.
›
›
›
›
›
›
Functional Testing – Loft engineers perform functional testing of the integrated satellite, verifying that all hardware and software function properly.
›
›
›
Environmental Testing – The satellite is then put through rigorous in-house environmental testing (vibration, thermal, EMI, and EMC) to ensure it is ready for launch.
›
›
›
Launch Vehicle Integration – Loft delivers the satellite to the launch site and supports integration with the launch vehicle. Loft also handles all insurance and spectrum licensing to further simplify the customer’s mission.
