SPIR News & Events

Spire Global was selected by AiDASH, provider of vegetation, storm, and ignition risk intelligence and SatelliteFirst grid monitoring solutions, to provide advanced weather intelligence and data that enhances AiDASH's integrated solution for securing the modern electric grid from vegetation and weather-driven risk. AiDASH has integrated Spire's high-resolution weather forecasts, powered by Spire's fully deployed satellite constellation, into its AI-driven vegetation and outage prediction tools and deployed to North American utilities' control centers. By combining Spire's advanced weather forecasting capabilities with AiDASH's vegetation risk models, the integration aims to create a comprehensive, real-time view of weather-driven grid risk, enabling utilities to better anticipate outages, prevent wildfire ignition, and optimize response operations.

Spire Global successfully launched nine satellites aboard SpaceX's Twilight mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. As part of the mission, Spire launched its Hyperspectral Microwave Sounder satellite demonstrator, a compact, space-ready sensor built to advance global weather forecasting from space. HyMS is designed to capture detailed internal views of the Earth's atmosphere, measuring important atmospheric variables including temperature, humidity, and precipitation. As a first-of-its-kind hyperspectral microwave mission, it will aim to help forecasters better understand how weather systems form and evolve in real time. On this mission, the company also launched eight satellites for Myriota, expanding the IoT provider's constellation and global space infrastructure to enable more scalable and reliable IoT connectivity for smart devices worldwide. This launch delivers an uplift in performance and resilience across Myriota's IoT network.
