LEOcloud and Little Place Labs Announce Strategic Collaboration to Demonstrate Orbitfy Suite Data Analytics in a Space-Based Cloud Region

ASHBURN, VA, and HOUSTON, TX, June 12, 2024 – LEOcloud, Inc. and Little Place

Labs Inc. (LPL) are pleased to announce the signing of a Strategic Collaboration

Agreement that will leverage the combined offerings of both companies to deliver

cutting-edge capabilities for space-based data analytics.


The collaboration focuses on deploying LPL’s innovative Orbitfy software suite on

LEOcloud’s Space Edge™ Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which will facilitate

scalable real-time data processing and analysis directly on spacecraft, significantly

reducing downlink costs and enabling faster mission-critical insights.


LPL is a revolutionary software company and leader in space edge computing software

applications. Their Orbitfy Software suite combines seamless data preprocessing

capabilities with low-SWaP machine learning applications designed for deployment

directly on satellites and other space infrastructures. This enables efficient data

processing in orbit, providing rapid, precise, and cost-effective insights for commercial

and national security sectors, while also being critical for optimizing in-space operations

and missions.


LEOcloud is at the forefront of defining the Space Edge, enabling end users and

hyperscalers a seamless cloud presence at the evolving space edge. LEOcloud's Space

Edge™ Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides multi-cloud computing on board

space-based facilities, scaling to address the requirements of satellites, orbiting

research and manufacturing platforms, and space stations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the

lunar region, and beyond. Their managed service offering allows spacecraft operators to

focus on their core expertise while delivering local space-based, mission-critical cloud

computing services to their customers.


Strategic Collaboration















Looking ahead, LEOcloud and LPL are planning to demonstrate Orbitfy on LEOcloud’s

upcoming deployment of its Space Edge IaaS on the International Space Station (ISS)

National Lab as part of LEOcloud’s demonstration project awarded by the Center for the

Advancement of Science in Space (manager of the ISS National Lab). Their

collaboration will demonstrate the migration and operation of the Orbitfy Suite in a cloud

region in space. The demonstration will enable customers to understand the benefits of

deploying the Orbitfy Suite on their spacecrafts in the LEO and lunar regions.


“Space will be a data-driven economy requiring scalable cloud resources for deep

analytics to overcome the latency, security risks and cost burden of bringing data back

to Earth to derive actionable insight,” said Dennis Gatens, CEO and Founder of

LEOcloud. “Inside the human loop will not be sufficient, rather scalable cloud edge

computing resources inside the terrestrial data center loop will be required to optimize

the capabilities of Orbitfy.”


"We are excited to collaborate with LEOcloud to push the boundaries of space-edge

computing. By integrating our solutions, we are delivering near-real-time data

processing capabilities directly in orbit. This partnership marks a significant step forward

in transforming how data is analyzed and utilized in space. It allows us to demonstrate

the potential of on-board processing that goes beyond just remote-sensing applications

to unlocking new possibilities for human space missions and exploration." - Bosco Lai,

CEO of Little Place Labs
