Leaf Line

Shared ground station service billed by the minute: satellite operators book passes over Leaf Space's network instead of owning antennas.

Why it matters

Paying per minute of contact lets operators with a few satellites get worldwide coverage without building their own antennas.

How the technology works

Operators book contacts through Leaf Space's portal or API, either automatically or on demand. About 40 company-owned antennas in some 20 locations track the satellite, send commands and pass the downloaded data to the operator in near real time.
