6 Spire-built satellites launched for Space Services customers
Spire Global launched six satellites for Space Services customers aboard the SpaceX Transporter-14 mission. These satellites, ranging from LEMUR 4U to 16U, wenable global IoT connectivity, Earth observation, and AI-powered image analysis-demonstrating the flexibility of Spire’s satellite platform and the growing demand for custom space-based solutions.

What will these satellites accomplish in orbit?
Hubble Network
Hubble Network is building the world’s first direct-to-satellite Bluetooth network. With the successful launch of Hubble-4 and Hubble-5, two 16U LEMUR-class satellites built and operated by Spire and deployed on SpaceX’s Transporter-14 mission, Hubble expands its space-based constellation.
This milestone marks the transition from pure technology demonstration to commercial deployment. Hubble-4 and Hubble-5 aim to unlock a range of eagerly anticipated commercial use cases.
Through its partnership with Spire, Hubble is accelerating the deployment of a global, low-power, direct-to-satellite solution. This network enables standard Bluetooth-enabled devices to directly connect from anywhere on Earth; even in remote, off-grid environments, without reliance on cellular or terrestrial infrastructure.
Lacuna Space
Lacuna Space is expanding its global IoT constellation with the launch of two 4U LEMUR satellites that combine a Spire-built platform with Lacuna’s custom IoT gateway payloads. These satellites are designed to deliver low-cost, reliable global connections to sensors and mobile equipment in remote locations-eliminating infrastructure barriers and extending connectivity to the edge of the Earth. The constellation supports a wide range of IoT services across agriculture, environmental monitoring, smart metering, and the blue economy, with use cases ranging from measuring soil moisture to improve crop yields to tracking the movement of critical assets across vast geographies.
Hancom Inspace
HANCOM InSpace continues to expand its commercial Earth observation capabilities with the launch of Sejong-2, a 6U LEMUR satellite developed through Spire’s Space Services. Equipped with high-resolution multispectral imaging, Sejong-2 aims to enhance real-time environmental monitoring by complementing HANCOM InSpace’s existing network of drones and ground sensors.
As South Korea’s first private company to have launched a commercial Earth observation satellite, HANCOM InSpace will be building a 50-satellite constellation to deliver actionable Earth intelligence. From comprehensive environmental monitoring including marine and agricultural insights, to dynamic land-use planning and critical disaster response, Sejong-2 supports a broad range of applications. This launch marks a critical step in validating Korea’s growing space technology leadership and scaling a next-generation constellation for global impact.
Mission Control
As part of its Persistence Mission, Mission Control is demonstrating the power of onboard artificial intelligence with the launch of its LEMUR 6U satellite, built and operated by Spire through its Space Services offering. The satellite carries an optical payload and is designed to generate Earth imagery that will be processed in-orbit using Mission Control’s proprietary SpacefarerAI™ platform. The mission aims to showcase how robust, reliable AI can operate onboard spacecraft over long durations—enabling real-time insights, preserving bandwidth, and accelerating decision-making at the edge.
Mission Control and Spire are advancing the frontier of autonomous space systems, simplifying how mission teams can deploy and update AI models in orbit.
