Cockpit turns mission complexity into operational control
Cockpit gives mission teams one secure, web based place to task payloads, monitor missions and run day to day operations. It is developed by Orbitworks in partnership with Loft Orbital.
Powered by Orbitworks in partnership with Loft OrbitalCockpit replaces a set of fragmented tools with a single operational layer for day to day mission use. It brings three primary functions into one secure environment, so operators spend less time switching between systems and more time running the mission.
Payload tasking
Define collection priorities, schedule activities and manage payload operations from one place.
Mission monitoring
Track mission status, operational activity and system behaviour through a secure environment.
Operational control
Manage mission workflows from pre deployment through to live operations.
Most mission complexity is not in orbit, it is on the ground: scattered tools, manual hand offs and slow answers. Cockpit collapses that into one operating layer, so the work of running a mission becomes a single, clear flow.
One source of truth
Tasking, monitoring and operations share one secure view, so teams stop reconciling exports and start acting on the same picture.
Faster from intent to orbit
Define what matters, set the priority and let Cockpit carry the tasking through, with fewer steps between a decision and a downlink.
Ready as you grow
The same console scales across mission models, so the way your team works stays steady as the constellation comes online.
This is an illustration of the Cockpit operating layer, not a live feed. As you scroll, the console builds the way an operator sees it come alive: metrics tick up, monitoring streams in, the tasking queue fills and a ground track traces the next pass.

Six capabilities cover the work of running a mission, from secure access to API integration, so teams can plan, task and monitor without leaving the platform.
01Capability
Secure web based access
A browser based interface for operational teams, with no specialist client to install.
02Capability
Payload tasking
A single environment to define priorities, schedule activity and drive mission execution.
03Capability
Mission monitoring
Visibility across mission activity in one view, instead of disconnected tools and exports.
04Capability
API integration
Connect Cockpit into your broader workflows and existing systems through a clear API.
05Capability
Mission workflow support
A unified operating layer that carries a mission from planning through to execution.
06Capability
Scalable access model
The same software across different mission models, so teams keep one way of working as they grow.
Cockpit is one layer between your team and the mission infrastructure. It gives people a clear place to plan and watch the mission, while commands and data move through the layers below.
Your team
Define objectives and interact with the mission through a clearer operational layer.
Cockpit
A secure interface for planning, tasking and monitoring across the mission.
Mission infrastructure
Carries commands and workflows through to orbital execution.
Payload, sensors and compute
Performs the technical functions that support the mission in orbit.
Mission output
Delivers results back to the team, ready to interpret and act on.
Cockpit is designed to fly the Altair constellation as it comes online, from the first spacecraft to a regional fleet over the years ahead.
From horizon to harbour, on your terms
Coastlines, ports, borders and wide areas of interest: define what matters, set the priority and let Cockpit carry the tasking through to orbit and back.
Plan a tasking with usCockpit brings the moving parts of an operation into a single, secure picture, so teams plan ahead, task with confidence and respond as conditions change.
See it in action
From console to coastline, in one flow
Watch how a tasking moves from the Cockpit console to an area of interest and back, captured, processed and delivered ready to act on.
Request a walkthroughCockpit is the same operating layer whichever way you reach orbit, so your team keeps one way of working as needs change.
Dedicated mission
A spacecraft configured around your objectives, operated end to end from one secure console.
Shared payload
Fly a payload on a shared platform and task it through Cockpit alongside other missions.
Data and tasking
Skip the hardware and task what is already in orbit, with results delivered ready to act on.
Built in partnership
Regional capability, proven mission heritage
Cockpit is developed by Orbitworks in partnership with Loft Orbital, combining a regional operations base with proven mission software. It supports sovereign space capability built and run from Abu Dhabi.
