KP Labs

KP Labs is a Katowice, Poland-based space technology company specializing in AI-powered on-board data processing systems for satellites. The company develops edge AI computing platforms that enable satellites to process, analyze, and filter data directly in orbit — dramatically reducing the amount of data that must be downlinked and increasing mission value.

KP Labs' flagship product, LEOPARD, is a high-performance on-board processor (OBP) designed for small and medium satellites. LEOPARD provides substantial computational power for running machine learning algorithms, image processing, and other demanding tasks directly on the satellite — without requiring ground contact. This enables new Earth observation mission concepts that were previously impossible, including real-time change detection, disaster response monitoring, and autonomous target identification.

KP Labs has worked with European Space Agency (ESA) programs and commercial satellite operators, contributing to the growing field of in-orbit computing and satellite intelligence. The company is expanding its reach with partnerships across the European and global NewSpace ecosystem, and is developing next-generation processors for demanding scientific and commercial missions.
