Loft Orbital's web-based mission control and payload tasking platform. Gives hosted-payload customers secure remote command access to their payload on a shared spacecraft as if it were on a dedicated satellite. Includes the Hub hardware adapter for payload integration and the HubKit for pre-flight validation. The federated multi-customer model on shared spacecraft is the reason consortium-platform is the correct kind: each payload customer operates independently through Cockpit while sharing the bus.
Cockpit is Loft Orbital's secure web-based mission control interface for hosted payload customers.[1] It exposes payload tasking, on-orbit resource scheduling, telemetry monitoring and mission-control functions through Loft's shared-spacecraft operating model, which is why the product is classified as a consortium platform rather than a standalone data product or spacecraft bus.[1]
The integration stack around Cockpit includes Loft Hub, which abstracts the payload interface, and HubKit, which provides flight-representative pre-flight validation before payload delivery.[1][2] According to public Loft material as of 2026-05-25, Cockpit is described as a web UI and operational interface; public pages do not provide a versioned SDK or API reference surface, so buyers evaluating developer integration should treat SDK-level detail as a vendor-diligence item.[1][2]
