Spire Global has been awarded a $28 million contract by NASA to develop and flight qualify a satellite-based hyperspectral microwave sounder, which will support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) weather forecasting needs. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance the accuracy and detail of weather forecasts.
Satellite operators such as AST SpaceMobile, HawkEye 360, and Spire Global have secured launch deals with prominent launch providers like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance to ensure the deployment of their constellations in a constrained market. This strategic move highlights the importance of launch capacity planning for satellite operators amidst rising demand and limited supply.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded contracts to Spire Global and PlanetiQ to provide radio occultation data, which will be used to improve weather forecasting and space weather prediction. The contracts are valued at $3.7 million and $2.7 million respectively.
Spire Global has partnered with German defense firm Diehl Defence to develop space-based missile warning systems, aiming to detect ballistic and hypersonic missile threats. This collaboration marks a significant step towards enhancing European sovereign missile-warning capabilities.
