Loft Orbital and EarthDaily Analytics mark record launch with six satellites

Loft to deploy six EarthDaily satellites, doubling the size of Loft’s fleet
Loft Orbital (“Loft”), a global space infrastructure company, and EarthDaily Analytics (“EarthDaily”), a premier provider of end-to-end Earth observation solutions, today announced a milestone mission planned for this quarter that will see six EarthDaily satellites deployed on a single launch. This mission marks a major step in the full deployment of EarthDaily’s constellation.
This milestone is part of a broader campaign that will see Loft deploy over 20 satellites, including two constellations, within an 18-month period, effectively doubling the company’s on-orbit fleet as it scales from individual missions to full constellations.
Scaling EarthDaily’s premiere Earth observation constellation
Loft is integrating, launching, and operating ten satellites for the EarthDaily Constellation, a system purpose-built to deliver daily, globally consistent measurement of planetary change. The system delivers high-frequency, calibrated, analysis-ready data designed for AI-driven insight and real-world decision making across governments and commercial industries, including agriculture, natural resources, and other operational sectors. Following the successful launch of EarthDaily’s first satellite in June 2025, early imagery and on-orbit performance have validated the system’s core promise: consistency over time. Initial captures demonstrate stable, high-quality measurement across every scene, confirming that the constellation is engineered not just to see the Earth, but to measure it with the reliability required to detect change, reduce uncertainty, and act with confidence at scale.
“This next launch represents a step-change in both scale and execution for Loft,” said Pierre-Damien Vaujour, CEO and Co-founder of Loft. “We’re moving from deploying individual missions to delivering full constellations, a culmination of the strategic investments we’ve made over the years in production scale, platform reliability, flight heritage, and persistent mission operations.”
A new model for deploying full constellations
The collaboration demonstrates a faster and simpler way to build and deploy new constellations. Loft provides end-to-end missions services across integration, launch, and operations, allowing data and analytics providers like EarthDaily to deliver high-quality insights to their end users.
“This partnership reflects a new model for how constellations are built and scaled,” said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily. “Loft’s ability to handle integration, launch, and operations allows us to stay focused on what matters most; delivering consistent, calibrated, AI-ready data that organizations can trust.”
Loft has been operating AI-enabled satellites for several years, successfully deploying AI workflows on orbit for more than ten customer missions. Loft will also be launching the world’s first operational constellation dedicated to AI and edge compute within the next 12 months, creating a new platform for deploying AI agents and applications on orbit.
By combining standardized spacecraft with a modular integration architecture and proven operational model, Loft is enabling customers to move from concept to constellation faster and with greater reliability than traditional approaches.
