Brief us on the mission Space Services overview

Spire Global satellite constellation still

Two distinct paths to greater Earth intelligence

Global monitoring, near real-time data streams, and custom historical datasets collected by a constellation of over 100+ low-orbit cube satellites equipped with multi-use radio frequency sensors.

Learn about our deal with NASA to provide tens of thousands of radio occultation data profiles per day.

Global data solutions delivered on resilient infrastructure

Spire Federal puts competitive Earth and ocean data directly into the hands of government users with unprecedented speed. Make key decisions and rapidly respond to emergencies with granular data collected from even the most remote, guarded areas. Our robust, redundant, and secure architecture is continuously hardened and updated.

Bespoke cubesat manufacturing and transport

Safely launch your own payload or work with Spire to build custom hardware, all based on our tried and tested LEMUR satellite constellation. Our scalable, cost-effective infrastructure and world-class manufacturing facilities mean your satellites can get to orbit faster with Spire than any other provider.

Data solutions

Global, multi-domain situational awareness

Global AIS data for maritime intelligence

We deliver over 80 million AIS messages daily through our AIS message and vessels data feeds, providing groundbreaking accuracy and coverage even in high-traffic and remote zones.

ADS-B data for air tracking and monitoring

Access a streaming global ADS-B service and historical database to support application development, analysis, and strategic decision-making.

Earth intelligence & atmospherics

Our constellation leverages GNSS signals to collect atmospheric data used to improve weather forecasts, measure sea ice and soil moisture, and monitor various Earth properties.

Highly accurate weather forecasting

Spire offers a proprietary weather forecast model powered by our radio occultation data and custom predictive models, producing highly accurate, global high-resolution forecasts with over 100 discrete variables.
