Dive into Spire as Keith Johnson gives us a rundown of who Spire is and what they do around satellite-based RF Collection. General Spire Overview: Spire Global, Inc. is a satellite-powered data service and analytics provider that is focused on the collection of RF signals at a global scale in near real-time. Spire designs build and operate an expanding LEO constellation of over 88 3U CubeSatellites, a network of 32 ground stations, a real-time acquisition and processing system, and a cloud-based data distribution service. Spire Federal offers data & analytics that deliver insights into the parts of the world where collecting data is notoriously difficult. Ships, planes, and weather systems often go untracked in remote regions. Spire can identify, track, and predict the movement of the world's resources and weather systems so that government agencies can experience increased situational awareness and make smarter decisions about what to do next - a mission-critical capability considering how quickly our world is changing. Spire offers four major services to its federal government customers: SENSE: Global Maritime Domain Awareness through Satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) AIRSAFE: Global Aviation Situational Awareness through Satellite Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) STRATOS: Global Space and Terrestrial Weather observations supporting Numeric Weather Models and Precision Forecasts Orbital Services: Hosted Payloads or Space as a Service, operating hosted payloads for clients to rapidly develop on-orbit capabilities
