When will your satellite burn up? ☄️
Today we launch Leonid Space, a new company dedicated to solving one of the most critical challenges in satellite operations: accurately predicting when your spacecraft will reenter Earth’s atmosphere.
The Problem We’re Solving 🛰️
As the number of satellites in Low Earth Orbit has exploded over the past years, a turbulent space weather environment has accelerated satellite decay. Traditional lifetime estimates can be wildly inaccurate, with satellite operators seeing years of mission time lost due to increased solar activity.
Take NASA’s TROPICS mission: initially predicted to remain in orbit for 9 years, then revised to 5-6 years, our analysis shows these satellites will actually deorbit this summer after just 2.2 years of operation.
This isn’t merely an academic difference - for different operators it represents:
- Destruction of revenue-generating assets
- Compromised mission objectives
- Disrupted service continuity
- The loss of critical science and national security capabilities
Deorbit Reports 📊
We take away the uncertainty with our flagship product, the Deorbit Report. Our proprietary model integrates cutting-edge solar activity forecasts with real-time orbital tracking to significantly outperform traditional tools. It provides the critical business intelligence needed to:
- Predict revenue
- Forecast production needs
- Ensure capacity for customer demand
- Gather competitive intelligence
- Verify regulatory compliance
These reports can be generated with public TLEs or with your mission-specific data for maximum accuracy, with flexible refresh schedules to keep you up-to-date on the health of your constellation.
Beta Release and Validation Campaign 📈
While completing final software validation (concluding April 2025), we’re opening our public beta today. With billions in hardware at risk, getting this technology to the space community can’t wait.
Early-adopters receive special pricing and enhanced support. You’ll receive monthly, quarterly, or yearly updates on your satellite and constellation health, providing continuous intelligence as space weather conditions evolve.
