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.

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.

This The Wall Street Journal article does an excellent job explaining the emerging threats across the space domain and why the United States Space Force and its Global Allies and Partners are so important. LeoLabs is proud to provide our customers with the ability to persistently monitor activity across Low Earth Orbit to support the Space Domain Awareness mission https://lnkd.in/eh7NB9Rp

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the AusSpace Summit! Come and listen to our expert briefing at our stand as per below.

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.

The Office of Space Commerce has extended its Consolidated Pathfinder project by one month to further validate the metrics to be leveraged by the operational Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS). New orders for space situational awareness (SSA) data and services have been placed with COMSPOC, Kayhan Space, LeoLabs, Slingshot Aerospace, and SpaceNav. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRwAgZvY

"Our investment in the Equator and Southern Hemisphere, including Costa Rica and Argentina, is to increase persistent orbital awareness in lower Earth orbit," said LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier today at the Hemispheric Security Conference in Florida. Thank you, Florida International University and the TAEDA Foundation for the invitation to speak alongside other leaders involved in LATAM.
