Loft Orbital offers an end-to-end service that delivers your mission to orbit on a standard microsatellite bus.
Their high-performance spacecraft have extensive flight heritage and can accommodate the most demanding smallsat missions. They make space simple by handling all elements of the mission so their customers can focus on their mission, their data, rather than the complexity to get there.
In their disruptive business model, they push most of our payments to post launch, under a pay-for-performance service-level agreement. If they don’t perform, you don’t pay.
