Milan, August 27th, 2025 : Leaf Space and FOSSA Systems today announced a strategic partnership to support new IoT satellites as part of FOSSA’s growing satellite constellation, leveraging Leaf Space’s global Leaf Line network.
FOSSA Systems is developing a Low Earth Orbit constellation to provide secure IoT connectivity globally, targeting industries such as energy, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, and defense, particularly in remote and underserved areas, using nano and microsatellites designed for a lifespan of 7 years. FOSSA will leverage Leaf Space’s automated scheduling, a global ground station network, and secure, reliable transmission for both telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) and IoT payload data.
“We’re proud to support FOSSA Systems, a European company integrating the full vertical chain from design to production to operations of IoT satellites,” said Cristina Zanchi, CEO of Leaf Space. “Leaf Space will provide the ground segment, enabling FOSSA to focus on innovation and delivering cutting-edge IoT services to its customers.”
“FOSSA will complement our existing network of ground stations with LeafSpace’s network to accelerate our global footprint as we begin commercial expansion.” said Julián Fernández, CEO of Fossa Systems.
