Mission

Ground-based phased-array radars map satellites and debris in low Earth orbit to help operators avoid collisions.

LeoLabs' mission is to secure commercial operations in low Earth orbit (LEO). As the LEO ecosystem gets more congested, the risk of collisions rises, and the need to map the orbits of spacecraft, satellites and space debris grows with every launch. Meanwhile, new generations of commercial spacecraft, such as small and cube satellites, are causing a dramatic increase in imaging, communications and human spaceflight prospects. LeoLabs was founded to address these risks today. With a worldwide network of ground-based phased-array radars that enable high resolution data on objects in LEO, the company offers foundational mapping data and services to mitigate the risks of collisions, including rapid orbit determination, early operational support, and ongoing orbit awareness. LeoLabs is a venture-funded company based in Menlo Park, CA, and provides its services to commercial satellite operators, government regulatory and space agencies, and satellite management services firms.
