Loft Orbital

Satellite Services and Operators

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. Loft Orbital operates from facilities in San Francisco, Golden, Colorado, and Toulouse, France.
