Leaf Space
Leaf Space operates a fully owned, globally distributed network of ground stations, offering satellite operators flexible and reliable spacecraft communication. Its Ground Segment-as-a-Service model streamlines TT&C and payload data transmissions through an intuitive user interface, proprietary autonomous scheduling software, and worldwide coverage. Founded in 2014, Leaf Space supports over 100 satellites in low Earth orbit and has offices in Milan, Italy and Delaware, US.
D-Orbit
D-Orbit is a market leader in the space logistics and transportation services industry with a track record of space-proven services, technologies, and successful missions. Founded in 2011, D-Orbit is the first company addressing the logistics needs of the space market. Its proprietary ION Satellite Carrier is a space vehicle capable of transporting satellites in orbit and releasing them individually into distinct orbital slots, while also accommodating third party payloads for in-orbit testing. Additionally, it can be rented for edge computing applications and space cloud services to provide satellite operators with storage capacity and advanced computing capabilities in orbit. Recognizing that many scientific and commercial missions often overlook cybersecurity, D-Orbit has made it a strategic priority. Following secure-by-design best practices, the company has established a dedicated R&D program focused on developing state-of-the-art cyber-defense technologies for space systems. These efforts aim to detect and respond to threats in real time, ensuring the integrity of satellite platforms, customer payloads, and data in space. In April 2025, the company announced a strategic business combination with the Planetek group to integrate new capabilities in cloud-based space applications, AI-powered data processing in orbit, and near real-time data services.
