About Us:

LeoLabs is the leading provider of integrated solutions that persistently monitor activity in space to reveal threats to safety and security.

The company is proud to now support eight nations including the space commands and civil space agencies of key U.S. Allies and Partners and is trusted by commercial space operators that own 75% of the operational satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
