Welcome to the Little Place Labs Q3 2025 newsletter
2025 has been a defining year for Little Place Labs so far, marked by key milestones, strategic partnerships, and a government award. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we are driving forward with focus and conviction. Each step brings us closer to delivering insights from orbit when and where they are needed most.
Thanks for following us on this journey. Go Space!! 🚀
Orbitfy in Space: From Tasking to In-Orbit Insights
Over the past 10 months, in collaboration with the U.S. Space Force, we have successfully completed a series of end-to-end demonstrations of our onboard processing software, Orbitfy, on a satellite in orbit. These validated the full workflow of in-orbit data processing and real-time insights generation, marking a major step toward our mission of delivering actionable insights from space within minutes.
TACFI Award Announced by SpaceWERX
At Fed Supernova in Austin, TX, SpaceWERX announced Little Place Labs as an awardee of a $2M Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI). This award will support us in building the OrbitfyNETWORK, a distributed network of partner satellites and compute assets that enables Orbitfy’s edge processing applications to be deployed at scale.
Product Updates:
OrbitfyVIEW
We have released the prototype of our user-interface platform, OrbitfyVIEW. This platform enables users to complete their entire workflow, from submitting an insight request to receiving real time insights through a single integrated dashboard, all in one place.
