Loft Federal provides a streamlined service for launching small satellites (smallsats) for the U.S. national security space community. The company simplifies the complex and costly process of satellite missions by offering a "mission as a service" model. This means they handle all aspects of launching and managing satellite missions, allowing clients, such as government agencies and defense organizations, to focus on their payloads and the data they need to collect. Loft Federal uses proprietary software and hardware to make their missions plug-and-play, enabling quick integration and launch of payloads. By having qualified satellite buses ready in advance, they can deliver payloads to orbit in months instead of years. Loft Federal's goal is to provide a faster, simpler, and more reliable path to orbit for smallsat missions, distinguishing themselves from competitors by reducing time, cost, and technical barriers.
