Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE:SPIR) ("Spire" or "the Company"), a global provider of satellite data, analytics, and intelligence, has been awarded a $3.7 million contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for satellite weather data from September 18 through December 1, 2026. Under the agreement, Spire will continue to deliver global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) data, including RO profiles with Temporal Resolution Enhancements that provide a broader range of time sampling.
This award marks the first time NOAA has procured RO profiles with Temporal Resolution Enhancements as a distinct deliverable under a commercial RO contract. Spire's near-real-time GNSS-RO data provides precise vertical profiles of temperature, pressure and humidity across the globe. Profiles with Temporal Resolution Enhancements deliver those same measurements from orbital planes positioned to observe across a broader range of times, capturing how atmospheric conditions evolve throughout the day and providing observations during periods that global RO coverage has historically missed.
