Loft Orbital's standardised LEO satellite bus derived from the OneWeb constellation architecture, used across the YAM demonstration series and as the platform for the DESIR programme. Bus-agnostic Hub payload adapter attaches to Longbow, enabling payload-agnostic hosted-payload missions.
Longbow is Loft Orbital's standardized LEO satellite platform used with Loft's Hub payload adapter and Cockpit mission-control software.[1][2] Longbow is based on the Airbus Arrow bus platform and benefits from a platform with over 600 copies in orbit.[2][1] Hub is a universal payload adapter that decouples payloads from satellite buses and supports standardized power, compute, communications, command, and control interfaces.[1][3] Loft owns and controls the YAM satellite, regulates payload power, and can accept or reject customer tasking requests.[3] YAM-8 is the first Longbow mission, and Longbow enables larger payloads and more bandwidth- or compute-intensive missions than earlier Loft platforms.[2]
