Unlocking the most precise satellite tracking on the planet.
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) has long been the gold standard. We’re bringing commercial and resilient SLR to satellite operators.
01 / Ground
Foundational operate a global SLR network
Our ground stations fire laser pulses towards satellites. By timing the round trip, we range satellites within millimetres per shot. We build the stations, run the end-to-end network, and offer SLR-as-a-service. This changes SLR from a scientific endeavour to a commercial advantage. SLR-as-a-service so you can focus on mission operations.
02 / Space
Retroreflectors: the answer from orbit
Foundational offer a product line of three Laser Retroreflectors (LRRs), each optimised for large-scale commercial deployment and a wide array of different mission types. No power, no electronics, no pointing: a station can range the host from horizon to overhead, through commissioning, safe mode, and after end of life.

The full orbital picture
Every data point flows into Origin, Foundational’s online data platform. Users can pull normal points and full-rate data in TDM, CRD or JSON formats. Orbit determination and propagation provide high-accuracy ephemeris for your satellite and constellation.
