✅ We've made contact with YAM-7! Stay tuned to Hydrosat's page for mission updates. ⚡ YAM-7 carries the names of every team member at Loft and represents the work that has gone into building our space infrastructure. 🪩

🚀Go for launch! YAM-7 is launching on Transporter-11! 🛰 Hydrosat's Van Zyl-1 will fly a thermal infrared imager that provides insights into agricultural water management, monitor droughts, and support food security initiatives, playing a vital role in both commercial and civil government initiatives. ⚡ YAM-7 will also serve as another virtual mission-enabled satellite node in our space infrastructure. By abstracting away the hardware, and providing access to Sensing, Connectivity and Compute Resources, we support the development and deployment of AI applications in space. Here’s to our incredible team for all of the hard work they do to make space simple. Follow the mission: ✅ Watch the SpaceX livestream.

Located between San Francisco, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and Toulouse, the European Space capital, Loft has always taken pride in its international DNA. Since our early days, Bpifrance has been a tremendous supporter of our development, providing crucial backing and guidance. Now, more than ever, BPIfrance is a strategic partner in our journey. It was an honor to welcome Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of BPIfrance, to our San Francisco office and introduce him to our team. His visit underscores the strong bond and shared vision between Loft and BPIfrance. Thank you, BPIfrance, for your unwavering support. Together, we are reaching new heights!

Loft Orbital was founded in 2017 to shift a paradigm around space infrastructure. Since then, we’ve achieved many milestones in our mission to build the space infrastructure that lets any company, government or institution harness the benefits of space. These milestones include launching multiple satellites, establishing three global offices, and deploying over 10 missions across our infrastructure. In the past year, we embarked on a slightly different kind of adventure to build a new brand identity to reflect our growth, where we are, and where we’re going. Today, we’re excited to unveil that new brand and website. Check out the website here: https://lnkd.in/gAeShUc Learn more about our new brand here: https://lnkd.in/ggABYBYS
