By the end of 2026, LPL will focus on establishing itself as the leading provider of real-time satellite-based insights. By scaling Orbitfy across 10+ partner satellites, integrating diverse data types, including optical, HSI, SAR, thermal, and more, and consistently delivering alerts in under 7 minutes, we aim to become the dominant player in high-impact, time-critical use cases, with a revenue of $3M+. This phase targets urgent scenarios across sectors such as defense, maritime surveillance, disaster management, insurance and finance, driving sustainable revenue and long-term market leadership.
We cloasd a $2M round (Convertible Note) with Leonid Capital Partners.
Our TACFI (Tactical Funding Increase) proposal for $2M was selected by the U.S. Space Force. This funding will accelerate development of our automated tasking and insight delivery capability, along with integration across partner satellites to enable low-latency, cross-constellation tasking. The selection validates both the mission-critical value and defense need for our capabilities, which also extend to commercial use cases such as disaster response, maritime domain awareness, and asset monitoring.
We released a near real-time solution that detects and classifies vessels in under 1 hour from capture, leveraging our edge computing software on Sidus Space's Lizziesat constellation.

In-orbit demonstration on Loft's YAM-6 started (currently ongoing), as part of our Phase 2 STTR contract with the US Air Force. The mission was to detect adn and classify vessels in near-real time, with latest demo delivering insights within 25 minutes from capture by the satellite.

We qualified to the semi-final round (currently inactive) in the $7M XPRIZE Wildfire Competition. We partnered with 3 global companies (autonomous drones, IoT sensors, and AI-enabled cameras) to detect and suppress wildfires in near real time.
