We're proud to share that we've been selected by AFWERX for a SBIR Phase II contract to develop next-generation radar technology central to countering the growing and evolving security threats in #space. “As the number of adversarial satellites in space dramatically increases year over year, we are committed to supporting the U.S. Department of Defense’s efforts to enhance tracking of non-cooperative launches, smaller orbital debris, and objects in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO),” says LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier. “We are dedicated to enhancing the resiliency of space architectures and strengthening deterrence to ensure U.S. national security.” LeoLabs is proud to be selected by the U.S. Department of the Air Force to lead the development of this technology. We look forward to leveraging it to expand our global sensor network and enhance our capabilities for new missions ensuring the security of space.

LeoLabs' CEO Tony Frazier spoke alongside Chad Anderson, Richard DalBello, Siamak Hesar, and Peter Marquez at Space Capital's recent summit to discuss the future of space and the critical need for more robust space safety and security services and systems to ensure the continuity of missions in Low Earth Orbit. "The time is now," explained Tony, to build services and systems that are responsive to the needs of both commercial and government operators and are interoperable for global collaboration. "Countries around the world will have a similar need. Once there's cooperation at the government-to-government level, then collaboration will be enabled through both data and software." Watch the full panel below. Thank you, Space Capital for hosting us at such a timely and insightful event. #SpaceSafety #SpaceSecurity #TRACSS

#OnThisDay in 2018, The White House issued Space Policy Directive-3, providing guidance and direction to federal agencies to promote the safety, stability, and sustainability of U.S. space operations as space becomes increasingly congested and contested. Six years later, the U.S. government has progressed in implementing SPD-3 thanks to efforts by OMB, National Space Council, and Congress to follow through with the funding and leadership support needed for departments and agencies to execute their assigned tasks. For the U.S. Department of Commerce, this has meant significant budget increases to field the Traffic Coordination System for Space (#TraCSS)—up from a few million dollars a couple years ago to tens of millions of dollars today! Secretary Gina Raimondo and Deputy Secretary Don Graves have been instrumental in supporting the TraCSS program within the Department of Commerce and before Congress. Among other things, SPD-3 named the Department of Commerce as the civil agency that should be responsible for freely disseminating the publicly releasable portion of United States Department of Defense space object catalog via an open architecture data repository. TraCSS will be that open data repository, providing basic space situational awareness (SSA) data and basic #SpaceTrafficCoordination (STC) services, including timely warning of potential collisions, free of direct user fees. SPD-3 also directed the Department of Commerce, in coordination with the Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Transportation, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to lead efforts to encourage and facilitate continued U.S. commercial leadership in SSA, STC, and related S&T. Per this direction, OSC is integrating commercial SSA capabilities into TraCSS and limiting the free TraCSS services to a basic set of inherently governmental safety functions, leaving U.S. commercial firms free to innovate and sell enhanced services. SPD-3 assigned many additional tasks to DOC and other agencies, who have done much to execute them over the past few years. Read the full text at https://lnkd.in/eVeH--_e ⚠️ NOTE: SPD-3 uses the term “space traffic management” (STM), but conceptually means STC when doing so. As true STM requires technology advances, and nobody today has authority to direct global space traffic, OSC is focused on SSA and STC as a productive step forward.

We are excited to share some highlights from the recent GP Bullhound "The Final Frontier – AI in the Space Economy" event held in Paris on May 21, 2024. We were proud to have Daniel Ceperley, COO and Co-Founder of our portfolio company LeoLabs from Fund VI, alongside speakers Barbara Belvisi, CEO and Founder of Interstellar Lab, and David Kownator, CFO of Isar Aerospace. Dan's presentation focused on AI's advancements and prospects in space, highlighting LeoLabs' role in revolutionizing space traffic management and debris tracking. His insights provided valuable perspectives on the critical role AI will play in ensuring the sustainability and safety of space operations. For those who could not attend, we have included the recording of Dan's presentation below.

The threats in space are real and growing. This makes the integration of commercial capabilities to enhance the resilience of national space architectures and strengthen deterrence all the more urgent. “Space is becoming more congested and more contested. We’d love to see an equal sense of urgency in the execution of the strategy so that the warfighter can take advantage of all the capability that is online today," says LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier in Via Satellite's article on the US Department of Defense's and US Space Force's commercial integration strategies.

We're proud to share we've received a second Consolidated Pathfinder order from NOAA’s Office of Space Commerce to inform the development #TraCSS. This order enables us to continue supporting the development of this system as the OSC extends the live data collection period of the pathfinder project. “Today’s announcement is a positive development towards ensuring the U.S. Traffic Coordination System for Space meets the safety needs of the growing space economy,” said LeoLabs Chief Executive Officer Tony Frazier. “LeoLabs is proud to deliver our commercial expertise, data, and services to this monumental effort to rapidly deploy a U.S. civil space traffic coordination system.” During this extension period, the OSC will continue to leverage LeoLabs' in-house expertise, artificial intelligence techniques, and the largest commercial dataset of over 20,000 objects and millions of daily conjunction data messages.
