LeoLabs Inc. (Headquarters: Menlo Park, CA, hereafter LeoLabs) today, April 8, 2026, launched LeoLabs Delta, an advanced on-orbit threat detection and characterization system, for the security missions of the United States and its allied and partner nations.
◆ The Current State of the Space Environment
By 2030, the number of satellites flying in Low Earth Orbit (altitude approx. 250 – 2000 km) is expected to exceed 70,000, and threats in space, including satellites from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, are projected to intensify. Space operations personnel from allied and partner nations are forced to make faster decisions and responses in this uncertain environment.
Tony Frazier, CEO of LeoLabs, stated, "Today's on-orbit threats are diverse, ranging from advanced close-proximity operations that mimic fighter jet dogfights to objects being deployed into orbit as if to evade detection. Passively monitoring these is no longer sufficient. In other words, it is necessary not only to know what is happening on orbit, but also to understand its meaning and act at the most effective time."
◆ LeoLabs' Vision
LeoLabs is the world's leading mission partner providing relentless orbital activity intelligence. We support safe, secure, and dynamic space operations for allied and partner nation space commands, government space agencies, and satellite operators by providing a distributed multi-mission radar network, a real-time orbital data catalog, and AI-powered analytics to reliably detect, track, identify, and respond to threats in space. Our mission is to provide a "living map" of space activities to protect our way of life on Earth.
Delta now joins the product lineup as part of LeoLabs' capability enhancements, in addition to the on-orbit conjunction analysis service LeoLabs Pulse and the launch tracking service LeoLabs Trace. We will continue to seamlessly provide mission-focused solutions tailored to customer needs and aim to provide a cross-domain advantage to the United States and its allied and partner nations.
