Loft Orbital

Loft Orbital is a space infrastructure company operating under the banner "Space Made Simple" that integrates, launches, and operates low-Earth-orbit satellites so customers can fly physical payloads or deploy software "virtual missions" without building or operating their own spacecraft. Its Cockpit mission-control platform lets operators task payloads, monitor telemetry, and downlink data in real time through a secure web UI or an authenticated API, and a customer SDK provides frameworks, documentation, and satellite APIs (including Azure Orbital space-edge deploys) for onboard sensors and compute. The Cockpit API and developer docs are gated behind login at api.cockpit.loftorbital.com, so no public specification is available. Backed by Uncork Capital.

Loft Orbital publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier Tech, Space, Satellites, and Aerospace.

Loft Orbital’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.

  description: Cockpit is Loft Orbital's mission-control interface for tasking payloads, monitoring telemetry, and downlinking
    data across Loft's fleet of LEO satellites. Advanced operators can integrate Cockpit into existing tools via API. The
    API is fully authenticated — every endpoint on the base host returns HTTP 401 without a customer login — and no public
    OpenAPI or developer documentation is published.
