Spire Global operates a nanosatellite constellation collecting Earth data on oceans, skies, land and weather, delivered as insights, predictive analytics and APIs to customers in 65 countries.
Spire Global is a space-to-cloud data and analytics company founded in 2012 by a team from three countries. It operates a proprietary constellation of LEMUR (Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver) nanosatellites that collect data on oceans, skies, land and weather around the clock. The raw observations are processed through software analytics into proprietary Earth data, insights and predictive analytics, which are delivered to customers through subscriptions and APIs.
The company serves more than 745 customers across 65 countries, with a customer base spanning weather forecasting, aviation, maritime, government and Earth observation. Its technical work spans nanosatellite engineering, satellite remote sensing, predictive analytics and API-based data delivery. Spire also offers a space-as-a-service model, allowing customers to deploy and operate their own payloads on orbit using its existing infrastructure rather than building their own satellite networks.
Spire positions its approach as distinct from traditional Earth observation methods, emphasising affordable nanosatellite networks and continuous, software-defined data collection. The company states its mission as building a better planet through the power of space-based data, and describes itself as innovation-oriented, having pioneered both its space-as-a-service offering and low-cost constellation operations. Operations are global, with a satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.
