About LeoLabs

LeoLabs drive advances in space traffic safety, space situational awareness (SSA), and preservation of the space environment through actionable, real-time information. Collisions with debris are the number one risk to safe operations in space and new data sources are required to measure and reduce that risk. LeoLabs is the leading provider of commercial collision warning services and real-time Space Domain Awareness (SDA) for low Earth orbit (LEO). These services are powered by LeoLabs’ worldwide network of radars and its cloud-based software system.
