Orbitworks

Orbitworks is a UAE-based space infrastructure company, headquartered in Abu Dhabi and formed as a joint venture between Marlan Space and San Francisco/Toulouse-based Loft Orbital. Operating from the region's largest AIT facility (50,000 sq ft), the company designs, manufactures, and deploys AI-enabled satellites at industrial scale. Its flagship program, the Altair constellation, pairs five onboard sensors (optical, SWIR, thermal, hyperspectral, RF) with NVIDIA GPU processing to deliver analysis-ready intelligence within minutes rather than raw imagery requiring hours of ground processing. Altair-1 launches October 1, 2026 with the full ten-satellite constellation targeted for 2027
