Rapid Payload Location and Identification
Quickly locate and identify newly launched payloads, including on rideshare missions, to establish communications.
About this service
LeoLabs offers a service for rapid location and identification of newly launched payloads, crucial for mission success. This service is particularly valuable during the critical first hours and days of new missions to LEO. It provides rapid assistance for payload location, delivering initial TLEs (Two-Line Elements) for spacecraft within hours of launch, allowing customers to quickly and reliably establish communications. For rideshare missions, the service also helps with payload identification to distinguish among multiple satellites belonging to different owner-operators. This is supported by LeoLabs’ 24/7 Global Radar Network and in-house astrodynamics experts.
