This interagencyadoptionsignalsLeoLabs' emergence as the nation's leading commercial source of persistent Orbital Intelligence. LeoLabsmaintainsthehighest quality and most comprehensive commercial catalog of objects and activity in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at nearly 25,000 resident space objects. The company currently tracks 99.3% of the U.S. Department of Defense's(DoD)public catalog, including99.96% of all satellitesand 98.56% of all debris. Under this contract, it will deliver its full publiccatalog, as well as radar observations, object state updates, and maneuverdetection data, to the USSF Unified Data Library (UDL) for use by the OSC and the JCO.

Thiscontractisamongseveral LeoLabs received from the U.S. Government in 2025 to address escalating threats in space by leveraging the company's foundational data and next-generation radar technology. It has grown its U.S. Government bookings by over 180% since 2024, with $29.4M in contract awards year to date as of September 2025.
In June, LeoLabs was selected for TraCSS' Commercial Collision Avoidance Gap Pathfindereffort, which addressesthe period immediately after launch when there is an elevatedwindowofcollision risk. In August,LeoLabsentered aSpaceActAgreement with NASA to evaluate the company's data and determine its applications for new NASA conjunction assessment missions. The Space Act agreement will further validate that LeoLabsdatacan be integratedwithotherdatasources, includingDoD data, for broader U.S. Government applications.
In addition, LeoLabs received two awards from USSF SpaceWERX to advance and proliferate its next-generation radars that enhance the company'sability to detect and characterizeemergingthreats andunlocknewmissionareas,suchas tracking hypersonic activity and objects in very low Earth orbit(VLEO).Under a Strategic FundingIncrease, LeoLabs is building an Ultra High FrequencySeeker-class radar in thelndoPacific region. Under a Tactical Funding Increase,LeoLabs is developing a software upgrade todetect and track foreignlaunches todeploy aboard Scout,the mobile radar class the company unveiled in April.
