NOAA will evaluate data supplied by GeoOptics, PlanetIQ, and Spire over approximately 12 months.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded contracts to GeoOptics, PlanetIQ, and Spire Global to provide space weather data as part of a pilot program to test the value of commercial observations.
Under the NOAA contracts, GeoOptics, PlanetIQ, and Spire will provide radio occultation datasets that reveal weather conditions in Earth’s ionosphere.
Since 2020, NOAA has been purchasing radio occultation data from GeoOptics and Spire to improve terrestrial weather forecasts.
SpaceChain installed the Velas space node onto a satellite designed and manufactured by Spire Global.
Spire Global managed the launch mission for the satellite carrying the Velas space node on 2022-01-13.
Spire’s risk classification system uses three categories: GREEN for collision probability less than 0.1% with no action needed, YELLOW for 0.1–1% probability requiring closer monitoring and potential coordination, and RED for greater than 1% probability requiring operator coordination and possible action.
Spire Global obtained a credit facility of up to $120,000,000 led by Blue Torch Capital.
Spire will use proceeds from the new credit facility to extinguish an existing approximately $71,000,000 credit facility.
