Customers in a wide range of industries rely on data collected by our global constellation of nanosatellites to make critical business decisions. Explore Spire's data product offerings:
“If we can identify and leverage emerging [data] sources…and algorithms, we will disadvantage our adversaries and enhance our position in the world.”
Launch is never boring and success is never a guarantee. With 16 launches now under our belt, the majority of those having launched in the last 2 years, Spire already launches satellites into orbit more often than any other company in the world. But 3 launches in under 3 weeks? We thought this deserved a mention.
Low data latency is not an accident. It is the result of leveraging a global ground station network that spans 28 locations in 11 countries. Space-based data is closer and faster than you realize.
Space is hard, and launch is even harder. But yesterday, Rocket Lab achieved an almost unprecedented success last Saturday with “It’s Business Time,” the company’s first commercial launch carrying small satellites from all over the world. This launch is an industry first, as the first commercial mission for a launch vehicle designed and dedicated specifically to putting small satellites like ours in orbit. This launch illustrates how the industry is embracing smaller, cheaper rockets designed specifically to accommodate the growing small satellite industry.
We're excited to be working with NOAA again as part of their Commercial Weather Data Pilot Program. With the expansion of our Boulder, CO office and the hard work of our weather team, we're ready to supply even more data to support government science and weather prediction initiatives.
At the Small Satellite Conference in Utah last week, Spire announced it signed a multi-launch contract with Arianespace to launch one of our largest batches of LEMUR satellites to-date. In 2019, Spire will ride on Vega’s proof of concept mission as part of ESA’s Small Spacecraft Mission Service program, with the option to book additional flights afterward.
