Loft Orbital is a space infrastructure company founded in 2016 in San Francisco by Alex Greenberg, Antoine de Chassy and Pierre-Damien Vaujour, letting customers fly payloads on shared commodity satellite buses instead of building and operating a satellite of their own. The company keeps modular hardware and software products and holds satellite buses in inventory so a payload can reach orbit quickly, handling booking, launch, licensing, insurance and operation of a satellite campaign end to end for customers that have included NASA, DARPA and the United States Space Force.
