Loft Orbital

Loft Orbital is a US space infrastructure-as-a-service company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Golden, Colorado, with additional offices in San Francisco and Toulouse. The company enables customers to deploy physical hardware payloads and AI applications on its fleet of standardized low Earth orbit satellites without building or owning spacecraft, operating under a 'Space Made Simple' philosophy.

Loft Orbital has launched 14 satellites, serves over 60 customers, and operates more than 15 AI missions in orbit, including a landmark demonstration of the first visual language model in orbit in partnership with NASA JPL. The company's platform supports both traditional payload hosting and on-orbit AI/edge computing workloads, making it a pioneer in the emerging field of in-orbit computing infrastructure.

In 2025, Loft Orbital raised $170 million in Series C funding and was selected as prime contractor for France's first space-based radar imaging program in 2026. The company's turn-key approach — from mission design through in-orbit operations — significantly reduces the time and cost for customers to access space-based capabilities.
