Rideshare
Fly hardware on an upcoming satellite.
Dedicated
Fly a full satellite for your mission.
Constellation
Fly a constellation with constant coverage and high revisit rates.
Define
Step 1
Define your mission
Your mission requirements and necessary resources are captured in a standardized intake form. We collaborate closely with you to design your mission and establish the Mission Service Level Agreement (SLA) and schedule.
Test
Step 2
Connect with the Hub
The Hub is a modular payload adapter that acts as the brain of the spacecraft; it communicates between your payload and the spacecraft bus to execute taskings and transmit your data back to Earth.
Step 3
Test and validate the mission
During mission development, we send you a Hubkit to validate your payload’s hardware and software interfaces to the Hub and ensure seamless payload integration to the satellite. Once compatibility configuration is complete, the payload is sent to us for integration.
Step 4
Reduce your time to orbit
We leverage off-the-shelf buses and Hubs from our inventory to reduce lead times.
Step 5
Payload integration and test
We integrate your payload to the satellite platform and conduct environmental and functional tests to ensure readiness for launch.
Deploy
Step 6
Go for launch
Loft handles the entire launch integration campaign. We prebook launch capacity years in advance to assure a ride to space.
Operate
Step 7
Mission operations
After launch, we commission and operate the satellite, to let you task your payload using Cockpit, our mission operations software.
