Loft Orbital combines satellite buses with their Payload Hub which can be used to house any type of sensor and for any type of mission, from IoT to imagery. Their Payload Hub capacity ranges from 1 g to 70 kg, or even just software loaded onto the onboard edge computer.
Loft Orbital simplifies everything for their clients by integrating the payload into the Payload Hub, contract for the launch provider, and actually operate the spacecraft. Loft Orbital has developed a platform called Cockpit which makes operating payloads easy for their customers. They are providing space infrastructure as a service — including everything from mission design, instrument development, satellite integration and testing and launches. Loft Orbital aims to remove the complexity of satellite development and operations.
