In 2016, the founders of LeoLabs recognized a critical gap in space operations: as low Earth orbit became increasingly congested with satellites and debris, the tools for monitoring and managing this environment were dangerously inadequate. Traditional space surveillance systems lacked the persistence, precision, and transparency needed to protect billions of dollars in assets and ensure safe operations. So they built LeoLabs - a commercial company dedicated to mapping the activity in low Earth orbit with unprecedented clarity and persistence.
LeoLabs has evolved from that founding insight into the world's leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence. Their proliferated network of ground-based phased array radars tracks more than 25,000 objects, delivering millions of measurements daily to military space commands, civil government agencies, and commercial operators worldwide. With radar sites spanning the globe and an AI-powered analytics platform, LeoLabs provides the living map of space that safeguards our way of life on Earth - enabling collision avoidance, threat characterization, and space traffic management in an increasingly complex orbital environment.
