LaunchPay operates as a financial platform where satellite operators can sign up to receive financing for their launch costs that is tied directly to revenue milestones or satellite performance metrics.

Instead of upfront payments, operators pay per launch upon reaching specific revenue targets from their satellite services, thus deferring costs until cash flow is generated.

This model is complemented by a financial risk assessment tool that incorporates AI to predict satellite revenue and mitigate risk for financiers, ensuring capital is deployed effectively.

The system is backed by a network of insurers to further de-risk potential failures.

LaunchPay aligns financing with actual cash flow and operational milestones, reducing upfront financial burden and risk.

It provides satellite operators with financial flexibility, improves cash flow management, and reduces the barriers to frequent satellite deployment.

This solution leverages existing fintech frameworks and AI technology, requiring moderate investment in platform development and partnerships with risk management and AI firms.

Regulatory hurdles include compliance with space law and financial regulations, necessitating a robust legal strategy.
