MAKING SENSE IN SPACE

Through agile physics and cutting-edge technology, we create sustainable and scalable solutions for sensing capabilities in space. Together with our subsidiaries, Geost, Trident and Ophir, we are shaping the future of space.
TRUSTED

Our solutions have 100% on orbit mission success and are trusted by the Intelligence Community, DoD, and partner nations for their most critical missions.
PURPOSE-BUILT

Our advantage lies in our unmatched expertise in understanding and harnessing the physics of light, enabling us to identify and characterize objects day and night across vast distances — from Earth to cislunar — and through difficult atmospherics. Our partners turn to us for our world-class physicists and collaborative approach when they need innovative solutions to address their most challenging missions.
CUTTING EDGE

LightRidge is able to develop the onboard algorithms, firmware, and hardware necessary to advance artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) edge computing in space.
AFFORDABLE

Our low size, weight and power (SWaP), high-performance solutions, coupled with our multi-orbit and multi-mission capabilities, enable LightRidge to offer competitively priced, affordable solutions that meet or exceed mission requirements.
