Loft Orbital builds hardware and software to fly and operate customer payloads on a standardized satellite bus, offering hosted-payload and dedicated spacecraft solutions that let companies, governments, and institutions harness the benefits of space without building their own satellites.

Organizations choose Loft for turnkey, scalable access to space and ongoing mission support.
