What Loft Federal Does

We turn spacecraft into mission assets.

A spacecraft is not a mission by itself. Loft Federal integrates the payloads, onboard processing, mission software, secure interfaces, and operational workflows required to deliver usable national security capability from orbit.

Partner Sensors EO/IR, RF, SAR, communications, and mission specific payload front ends.
VAULT Onboard processing, autonomy, tasking, scheduling, and mission execution logic.
Spacecraft Integration Interfaces across buses, payloads, power, data, communications, and mission operations.
Secure Handoff Trusted delivery into government, prime, theater, and mission partner systems.
Mission Outcome Faster sensing, processing, decision support, and operational response.
Enterprise Flight Heritage

Commercial Scale. Federal Execution.

14+ space vehicles flown via VAULT heritage architecture, with 28+ in production

Why Mission Compute Matters

The bottleneck is no longer just launch access or bus availability.

The mission constraint is the ability to collect, process, prioritize, and act on data at operational speed. VAULT moves critical mission functions closer to the sensor.

Operational Constraint
VAULT Response
01 Raw data overload
Onboard filtering, fusion, compression, prioritization, and mission product generation.
02 Ground centric latency
Mission tasking, processing, routing, and secure handoff at the edge.
03 Vendor fragmentation
Open interfaces across payloads, buses, partner systems, and government architectures.
04 Autonomy trust gap
Confidence scoring, human authorization gates, digital rehearsal, and evidence capture.
05 Orbit specific fragility
Mission execution designed for LEO, MEO, GEO, hosted payloads, and partner spacecraft.
VAULT

Data at the Edge. Decisions at Mission Speed.

VAULT enables onboard mission execution, edge analytics, autonomous tasking, mission scheduling, and secure payload operations directly on orbit.
