Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space
services, has been selected for a Multiple-Award, Indefinite
Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by NASA to provide
Earth observation data for the agency’s Commercial Smallsat Data
Acquisition (CSDA) Program. The contract will be effective for five
years with the opportunity to compete for task orders under a $476
million shared ceiling amongst all contractors selected.
Spire will provide NASA with its comprehensive catalog of Earth
observation data, associated metadata and ancillary information
from its fully deployed satellite constellation to support NASA’s
Earth science research and application activities. Data collected
and shared will include, but is not limited to:
- GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO) soundings, which can be
assimilated into weather models to improve global weather
forecasting accuracy;
- GNSS Reflectometry data (GNSS-R) to measure sea ice, soil
moisture and ocean surface wind speed;
- Space weather measurements of electron density and
scintillation to monitor the ionosphere and prepare for and react
to weather events in space;
- Satellite state vector, altitude and precise orbit
determination data to correct errors in orbital drag models;
and
- Magnetometer observations
“Better and more accurate Earth observation data is vital to
addressing the increasingly complex climate issues we face today,”
said Chuck Cash, vice president of federal sales at Spire. “Our
long-standing work with NASA and the CSDA Program uniquely
positions us to continue delivering high-quality Earth observation
data and innovative solutions that contribute to a more sustainable
future.”
Spire has participated in the agency’s CSDA Program since its
pilot in 2018.
