How is Leaf Key different from Leaf Line?
Leaf Line is a shared network used by many missions. Leaf Key gives you dedicated stations and capacity, tuned to your specific orbit, data rate, security, and sovereignty needs, while working with the same software stack and API.
Who is Leaf Key designed for?
Leaf Key is ideal for medium to large constellations and institutional missions that need higher duty cycle, predictable latency, and strong control over where infrastructure sits and where data flows.
What level of control do we have over operations?
You keep full visibility and control through the Leaf Space API and operations tools. You choose the service model: Leaf Space operated or customer operated
Can we start on Leaf Line and move to Leaf Key later?
Yes. The transition is smooth because the API and software stay the same.
