Ground Station Network
Operate your space mission with the Spire ground station network, built to seamlessly uplink and downlink your satellite constellation data, delivering data directly into your AWS S3 bucket.
Covering frequency bands UHF, S-Band, X-Band, Ku Band & Ka Band.
Robust global network
24/7 availability and monitoring
Regulations & licensing
Scalability and optimisedA global network presence
Our expansive network footprint spans the globe, with strategically positioned ground stations to ensure comprehensive coverage. To further expand our proprietary global network and enhance its capabilities, we have forged strategic partnerships with industry leaders KSAT and Kepler. Both Spire and third-party ground stations integrate seamlessly with Spire Space Services satellites and our Constellation Management Platform, and customers can select which individual stations to activate for their data downlinks.

Spire & partner network
Spire fully owns a network of ground stations that automatically collect signals for our customers’ constellations globally. This network is augmented with a partner network to meet your business needs of data collection, latency, and data throughput. Bringing a reliable solution that lets you enjoy a hands-off approach to ground station operations and management.
Fully integrated

Secure and encrypted
The Spire ground segment operates in bent pipe mode, with encrypted satellite data being passed directly to our secure cloud in AWS without caching or decryption. As a result, your data travels securely and safely through the Spire system to reach you.
Customers can optionally add their encryption on top of Spire’s encryption, using keys only they hold. Using client-side encryption ensures that your data remains protected and confidential, providing you with peace of mind while handling sensitive information.

Satellite constellation licensing and regulation
Your satellite constellation operates reliably by delivering data through a network of pre-licensed, fully operational, and functional ground stations. By leveraging Spire’s over 11+ years of Radio Frequency (RF) solutions, supported through authorization across multiple jurisdictions sanctioned for data collection and transfer, you can save years of RF licensing and frequency coordination.
