The Helsing EU Sovereign Constellation is a planned multi-sensor satellite constellation being developed by Loft Orbital for Helsing, an AI-focused defence technology company operating in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. [^loft-helsing-pr] The constellation is designed for governmental, defence, and security applications, with an emphasis on AI-enabled intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) processing. [^loft-helsing-pr] [^calibre-defence-helsing]
Loft Orbital serves as the satellite platform and launch services provider, using its Longbow bus architecture. [^loft-physical-missions] The constellation is scheduled for launch within 2026 with slots secured, though no specific launch month has been publicly confirmed as of May 2026. [^loft-helsing-pr] The exact number of satellites in the constellation and the specific sensor model designations -- including camera make and model and RF sensor type -- have not been publicly disclosed, consistent with the limited technical disclosure typical of defence-oriented space programmes.

Helsing (the AI company) is not yet listed as a separate entry in the EO-Atlas companies catalogue. The mission is catalogued at low confidence given the restricted public technical disclosure expected for a commercial defence constellation.
