Loft Orbital and EarthDaily Analytics Mark Record Launch With Six Satellites

Loft to deploy six EarthDaily satellites, doubling the size of Loft’s fleet

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Loft Orbital (“Loft”), a global space infrastructure company, and EarthDaily Analytics (“EarthDaily”), a premier provider of end-to-end Earth observation solutions, today announced a milestone mission planned for this quarter that will see six EarthDaily satellites deployed on a single launch. This mission marks a major step in the full deployment of EarthDaily’s constellation.

This milestone is part of a broader campaign that will see Loft deploy over 20 satellites, including two constellations, within an 18-month period, effectively doubling the company’s on-orbit fleet as it scales from individual missions to full constellations.

Scaling EarthDaily’s premiere Earth observation constellation

Loft is integrating, launching, and operating ten satellites for the EarthDaily Constellation, a system purpose-built to deliver daily, globally consistent measurement of planetary change. The system delivers high-frequency, calibrated, analysis-ready data designed for AI-driven insight and real-world decision making across governments and commercial industries, including agriculture, natural resources, and other operational sectors. Following the successful launch of EarthDaily’s first satellite in June 2025, early imagery and on-orbit performance have validated the system’s core promise: consistency over time. Initial captures demonstrate stable, high-quality measurement across every scene, confirming that the constellation is engineered not just to see the Earth, but to measure it with the reliability required to detect change, reduce uncertainty, and act with confidence at scale.

“This next launch represents a step-change in both scale and execution for Loft,” said Pierre-Damien Vaujour, CEO and Co-founder of Loft. “We’re moving from deploying individual missions to delivering full constellations, a culmination of the strategic investments we’ve made over the years in production scale, platform reliability, flight heritage, and persistent mission operations.”

A new model for deploying full constellations

The collaboration demonstrates a faster and simpler way to build and deploy new constellations. Loft provides end-to-end missions services across integration, launch, and operations, allowing data and analytics providers like EarthDaily to deliver high-quality insights to their end users.

“This partnership reflects a new model for how constellations are built and scaled,” said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily. “Loft’s ability to handle integration, launch, and operations allows us to stay focused on what matters most; delivering consistent, calibrated, AI-ready data that organizations can trust.”

Loft has been operating AI-enabled satellites for several years, successfully deploying AI workflows on orbit for more than ten customer missions. Loft will also be launching the world’s first operational constellation dedicated to AI and edge compute within the next 12 months, creating a new platform for deploying AI agents and applications on orbit.

By combining standardized spacecraft with a modular integration architecture and proven operational model, Loft is enabling customers to move from concept to constellation faster and with greater reliability than traditional approaches.

About Loft

Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable way to deploy missions in orbit. Loft integrates, launches, and operates spacecraft on behalf of its customers, allowing them to focus on mission outcomes rather than building or operating their own satellites.

By leveraging Loft’s existing space infrastructure, modular technologies, and inventory of satellites on a shelf, customers can deploy new capabilities in months instead of years. Loft has flown more than 25 missions across a wide range of payloads and applications, demonstrating consistent, repeatable performance on orbit. Loft is a global company with facilities in San Francisco, Golden, Colorado, and Toulouse, France. In 2024, Loft and Marlan Space established Orbitworks, the Middle East’s first private space-infrastructure company, extending Loft’s ability to support customers worldwide.
