OSC announces conditional USD150 million loan in LeoLabs space tracking capabilities

The Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital announced on 4 November 2026 a conditional commitment for a $150 million loan to LeoLabs, a provider of orbital tracking services. LeoLabs combines a geographically distributed network of ground-based radars with an orbital catalogue and software that analyses the observations. Satellite operators can use the data to assess collision risks, find newly launched spacecraft and monitor changes in orbital activity. The proposed financing supports space monitoring infrastructure serving military commands, civilian agencies and commercial operators, with the loan still subject to completion of its conditions.
