Earth Day 2022 - Observed from Space

It’s Time to Invest in our Pale Blue Dot

How NOAA is Improving Weather Forecasting with Commercial Radio Occultation (RO) Data

On February 10th, 2022, NOAA awarded Spire Global an $8 million contract for commercial satellite radio occultation (RO) data – the largest US government purchase of RO data to date.

Restoring peatlands fights global warming. Satellites can help

Peatlands hold more carbon than all the world’s forests. But humans have damaged them.

Space Weather Observations from the Spire Cubesatellite Constellation

Watch this webinar to learn about Spire’s cubesatellite-based space weather measurements, including total electron content (TEC), ionospheric density profiles, and satellite Precise Orbit Determination (POD) data, which can be used to infer thermospheric density. All of these datasets and more are currently available via the NASA Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program.

Supporting Climate and Earth Science Research Through NASA’s CSDA Program

NASA awarded Spire a contract renewal to provide earth observation data through the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program.

Spire's weather data helped predict California’s Caldor Fire

With weather data and forecast models, firefighting begins before flames turn into runaway forest fires.

Forecasting space weather’s impact on technology

We are heading into the sun’s stormy season.

Why we’re going to Space-Comm Expo (and why you should be there too)

With its strong and growing presence in the UK, Spire is excited to be taking part in this brand-new event, which will bring together a broad spectrum of organisations involved in the commercialisation of space for business, defence and aerospace.

Ahead of the curve

An elegant measurement called radio occultation captures precise atmospheric data that helps reduce errors in weather forecasting.

How sustainable agriculture is tied to advances in weather forecasting

Weather prediction is an important factor in the success of sustainable agriculture. Equally essential is where we find ourselves in human history.
