Candelas Innovation Facility
Secure mission engineering, customer collaboration, autonomy development, and classified readiness for federal mission growth.
Engineered for Prime Mission Integration.
Our federal headquarters located in Arvada, Colorado is purpose-built for the design, integration, test, and operation of national security space missions. The facility provides a secure foundation for mission execution, from initial engineering to final spacecraft handling and mission operations.
- Secure Cleanrooms: Two dedicated, ISO-8 cleanrooms (336 sq ft and 480 sq ft) designed to house multiple spacecraft buses simultaneously, including Longbow and Nova-class vehicles.
- High-Bay for Spacecraft Handling: An expansive open warehouse area equipped with a 1-ton capacity portable gantry crane, enabling the safe and efficient maneuver of large spacecraft buses and associated ground support equipment.
- End-to-End Mission Support: The facility includes dedicated ESD-safe lab space for hardware development, secure inventory storage, and engineering workstations adjacent to cleanrooms for seamless integration and collaboration.
- Classified Program Ready: With a clear roadmap to support programs up to the TS//SCI level, the facility is designed to meet ICD-705 standards for secure collaboration, development, and mission operations.
Golden integration capability supports the enterprise.
The I&T imagery shown reflects Golden unclassified and commercial mission capability. Loft Federal can draw on this enterprise capability base while executing federal delivery through the appropriate facility, security posture, and program controls.
