LeoLabs is a leading commercial provider of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) services. The company operates a global network of phased array radars to track objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), including satellites and space debris, down to 2cm in diameter. LeoLabs provides data and analytics to satellite operators, commercial enterprises, and government agencies like the U.S. Space Force and the European Space Agency (ESA) for collision avoidance, mission risk assessment, and space situational awareness. Their services support safe and sustainable operations in space, enabling customers to monitor and respond to threats in an increasingly congested orbital environment.
