PlanetiQ, founded in 2012, is a weather and climate data service provider in the space industry. They operate a constellation of small satellites equipped with proprietary "Pyxis" GPS Radio Occultation (GPS-RO) sensors to collect atmospheric data. PlanetiQ provides high-resolution weather data for improved forecasting, climate monitoring, and space weather prediction, and their customers include organizations like NOAA, who utilize their data for weather forecasting and atmospheric research.
