Mission-critical satellite data and space services to address the toughest challenges with accuracy and speed
Our multi-payload satellites tirelessly deliver data and analytics solutions for a broad spectrum of government and defence applications, providing immediate access to the right data at the right time for faster, evidence-based decision making and proactive planning.
Resilient distributed platform built on proven, de-risked technology
Engineered with no single point of failure, our system is based on a constellation of multi-payload nanosatellites – reprogrammable in orbit – with robust and frequent launch schedules and 300 years of flight heritage serving critical data applications for multiple industries.
Rich, unique datasets with truly global coverage
We specialise in signal monitoring techniques for maritime and air asset tracking and in atmospheric data collection and monitoring of an array of Earth properties at dense spatial and temporal resolution. By analysing and enriching this information, we produce insightful data solutions that cover even the most remote and guarded places on the planet.
Spire for government and defence
Supporting operations with proven data solutions and space services
Strengthened situational awareness
Our global data solutions help civil government and defence agencies to track assets; survey land borders, sea and air space; track illegal activities and monitor environmental factors even in denied areas, arctic regions or hard-to-reach locations.
Tailored to mission-specific requirements
Spire’s global data sets can be customised to meet your mission needs. Our space services and custom nanosatellite solutions allow for complete customer control from design to in-orbit operations and data downlink.
Assuring security & optimal control
Complete vertical integration ensures a controlled and efficient payload integration process for our payloads and customer payloads. All communications between cloud-based command machines and satellites are secured with an end-to-end encryption, and our ground stations never decrypt customer data.
Reliable space platform
Our multi-payload Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver (LEMUR) nanosatellite platform with over 300 years of collective spaceflight heritage and 100+ LEMUR satellites launched is matched with a global network of ground stations to offer proven in-space and ground infrastructure for the most demanding missions.
Fast start with constellation level scalability
Spire manufactures new satellites every 10 days and launches every six weeks, ensuring development to operational readiness in as little as ~6 months. As a result we are continuously launching improved sensors and upgrading them in orbit, on our own payloads or those of our customers.
