Founded in 2014, Leaf Space pioneered a new approach to ground segment operations and has grown into a trusted partner for commercial constellations, institutional missions, and defense programs across three continents.
We make space connectivity easier to access, simpler to scale, and more resilient in an increasingly connected space ecosystem.
