uropean Space Agency (ESA) awarded Spire Global Inc, a global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, a €16 million phased contract for the EURIALO project, which will develop the preliminary design and demonstrator for a global space-based independent aircraft surveillance system.
Spire builds, owns, and operates a fully deployed satellite constellation that uses radio frequency technology to observe the Earth in real-time.
The data acquired by Spire’s satellites provides global weather intelligence, ship and plane movements, and spoofing and jamming detection to better predict how their patterns impact economies, global security, business operations, and the environment.
