Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space
services, today announced it was awarded a subcontract by Riverside
Research, an advanced research nonprofit, to provide star tracker
imagery as part of the Data Exploitation and Enhanced Processing
for Space Domain Awareness (DEEP-SDA) project on behalf of the
United States Space Force (USSF).
The DEEP-SDA project aims to address the critical issue of space
domain awareness by harnessing the power of existing star trackers
and data to develop a software tool to enable the USSF to
characterize and detect objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Spire
will be the leading provider of star tracker imagery, and all data
will be used in direct support of the Joint Task Force-Space
Defense Commercial Operations Cell (JCO), a specialized Space Force
unit that works with commercial space data.
"As activity in space increases, monitoring it is critical for
the safety, security and sustainability of our space domain,” said
Chuck Cash, vice president of federal sales at Spire. “With our
star tracker imagery, Riverside Research can more accurately
provide space domain awareness for the JCO and USSF.”
Star trackers are optical sensors utilized on satellites to
precisely determine and maintain their orientation in space.
Spire's star trackers capture images of celestial bodies,
particularly stars, within the satellite's field of view.
