Spire Global operates one of the world’s largest multi-purpose satellite constellations to source difficult-to-acquire Earth data and provide predictive solutions.
Spire Global partnered with Dragonfly Aerospace to support the Australian Government’s Office of National Intelligence with a second satellite as part of the NICSAT program.
Spire will design, build, and launch its Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver (LEMUR), a 6U satellite platform, for the NICSAT2 program.
Spire built three 6U satellites named LEMUR-2-DJIRANG, LEMUR-2-MIRIWARI, and Ororatech for RF-based data collection.
Spire Global does not provide the electro-optical infrared data the Space Force is seeking.
The partnership between SpaceChain and Spire Global that enabled the mission was first announced in September 2021.
The blockchain-enabled payload was installed onto a satellite designed and manufactured by Spire Global, Inc.
Spire launched its first 6U nanosatellites on the ISILAUNCH36 mission to join its constellation of more than 150 3U nanosatellites launched to date.
The seventh satellite on the 2022-01-13 mission is from Spire Global and was developed with the Austrian Space Forum and Findus Venture GmbH to measure the orbital debris environment.
In November 2017 Spire planned to establish European headquarters in Luxembourg after the Luxembourg Future Fund participated in a $70,000,000 funding round.
Spire Global operates a space-as-a-service business that enables commercial and government organizations to deploy applications and sensors using Spire’s space technology, ground station network, and automated operations system.
The Aether terminal tests on the Spire-launched satellite will enable Spire Global to evaluate how the Aether data-relay network could support Spire’s LEO constellation of more than 110 Lemur smallsats.
Kepler Communications plans to use a Spire Global nanosatellite launching late next year to test an Aether terminal intended for eventual large-scale deployment as a mesh network of data-relay satellites.
Initial Aether terminal tests on a Spire-launched satellite in the fourth quarter of 2022 will be limited to verifying hardware performance and data rates.
Spire Global was based in San Francisco and moved its global headquarters to Vienna, Virginia after becoming a public company this summer by merging with a special purpose acquisition company.
A Falcon 9 launch vehicle deployed Spire’s nanosatellite into Spire’s on-orbit constellation on 2021-06-30.
Spire completed a SPAC merger in 2021.
Virgin Orbit added Spire’s ADLER-1 to the Above the Clouds mission manifest on 2021-12-09.
ADLER-1 will collect data on the environment of micro space debris in low Earth orbit using a short-range radar provided by Spire.
Theresa Condor, Chief Operating Officer at Spire Global, supports implementing a proactive satellite-based monitoring solution because ground and aircraft monitoring technologies are impractical at scale and advanced systems can increase coverage and enable faster activation of backup solutions.
