About
LeoLabs delivers persistent orbital intelligence through a combination of multi-mission radar infrastructure and an AI-powered analytics platform. The company operates the most comprehensive commercial catalog of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), enabling operators to detect, track, and respond to potential threats in space with unmatched accuracy. Its core solutions span three mission areas: Space Domain Awareness, which helps protect high-value satellites and monitor adversarial objects; Space Traffic Management, which ensures safe operations with real-time data on all objects in LEO; and Launch & Operations support, which assists operators with post-launch communications, collision avoidance, and orbital maneuvers. The technology stack includes a globally distributed network of rapidly deployable, all-weather radars and a cloud-based AI platform that delivers actionable threat alerts and conjunction warnings. LeoLabs' authoritative dataset is used by military, national security, and commercial space operators worldwide. Designed for enterprise and government customers—including the U.S. Space Force and allied national security missions—LeoLabs recently launched 'Delta,' its most advanced Space Domain Awareness solution to date. The platform is also recognized by Fast Company as one of the world's most innovative companies in defense technology.
