Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space
services, successfully launched four Spire built and operated
satellites on the SpaceX Transporter-10 mission, which launched
from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on March 4th,
2024.
Expanding Connectivity for a Smarter World
Spire built and launched two satellites for Myriota, a
world-leading provider of secure, low-cost, and long battery life
satellite connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT). This
strategic expansion enhances Myriota's global coverage and builds
upon its existing constellation of 30+ satellites, allowing for
more scalable and reliable IoT connectivity for smart devices
worldwide. Myriota will also leverage Spire's Software in Space
solution and constellation of multipurpose satellites to explore
the testing and development of space-based capabilities. By
incorporating Spire capabilities into its network, Myriota
customers will experience enhanced security, faster data access,
low-latency communication, and improved device control and firmware
upgrade capabilities. In 2022, Spire launched seven satellites
carrying the Myriota software.
These satellites will also join Spire’s constellation,
contributing to the collection of data for Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). ADS-B utilizes space-based
monitoring to gather aircraft information, providing heightened
situational awareness compared to traditional radar and
ground-based radio systems.
Building a Global Network
Spire also built and launched two satellites for Hubble Network.
These satellites play a crucial role in demonstrating the
technology for Hubble Network's IoT mission, aiming to establish a
global satellite network accessible to any Bluetooth-enabled
device, even in areas without cellular reception.
“Our work with innovative partners like Hubble Network and
Myriota exemplifies how Spire enables visionary ideas to swiftly
transform into reality," said Frank Frulio, general manager of
Space Services at Spire. “Spire Space Services is committed to
simplifying access to space, empowering companies to harness the
potential of satellite technology. By breaking down traditional
barriers, our streamlined model enables companies to tap into
space-based actionable insights, fostering impactful advancements
without the challenges of cost, time, or specialized knowledge in
building and operating space infrastructure.”
The satellites were manifested on the mission through a
multi-launch agreement between Spire and Exolaunch, which includes
access to SpaceX’s Rideshare programs through Exolaunch’s long-term
launch arrangements. Spire will launch additional satellites on
SpaceX rideshare missions later this year.
