Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (the Company or Spire), a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced it has been awarded the next order to provide commercial radio occultation (RO) weather data for the National Oceanographic and Oceanic Administrations (NOAA) operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.

Key Points: 
  • Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (the Company or Spire), a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced it has been awarded the next order to provide commercial radio occultation (RO) weather data for the National Oceanographic and Oceanic Administrations (NOAA) operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
  • The order represents the largest volume of commercial weather data purchased to date by NOAA under the Commercial Weather Data Buy Program.
  • The data provided by Spire will increase the volume of RO data available for assimilation into the national weather prediction models, improving the accuracy of those models and decreasing uncertainty in weather forecasting.
  • In addition, the data provided to NOAA by Spire will be made available to international meteorological organizations and the broader U.S. federal government upon receipt, enabling increased information sharing for critical weather data.

Spire Global, Inc. (Spire or the Company), a leading global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, announced today it has been awarded a contract to provide radio occultation satellite data to the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites ( EUMETSAT ), a global operational satellite agency which gathers, and gives access to, accurate and reliable satellite data on weather, climate, and the environment.

Key Points: 
  • Spire Global, Inc. (Spire or the Company), a leading global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, announced today it has been awarded a contract to provide radio occultation satellite data to the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites ( EUMETSAT ), a global operational satellite agency which gathers, and gives access to, accurate and reliable satellite data on weather, climate, and the environment.
  • This radio occultation data is captured around the clock and during extreme weather conditions or heavy cloud cover, unlike traditional visible satellite imagery.
  • EUMETSAT's satellites are a vital part of international weather forecasting and make a significant contribution to the global environmental monitoring sector.
  • Spire uses one of the worlds largest multi-purpose satellite constellations to source hard to acquire, valuable data and enriches it with predictive solutions.
