Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services,
has been awarded a multi-million euro contract by EUMETSAT,
Europe’s meteorological satellite agency, to provide radio
occultation (RO) data. The contract is for an initial period of two
years, from 2024-2026, with three optional, one-year
extensions.
The award follows a successful pilot program, which demonstrated
the benefits of Spire's RO data for weather forecasting accuracy
and value. The Company’s RO data provides information about the
vertical profiles of pressure, humidity and temperature across all
points of the globe, including in the most remote regions and open
oceans.
Spire will provide the data in near-real time, and it will be
distributed to the EUMETSAT user community globally for use in
weather forecast modeling.
“As extreme weather events become more frequent, our work with
EUMETSAT shows a shared commitment to using space-based data to
confront the impacts of climate change,” said Theresa Condor, Chief
Operating Officer at Spire. “We're proud to work with the agency to
improve weather forecasting and protect human life and
property.”
“It was important to EUMETSAT that the terms of this contract
allow us to redistribute the data globally, in line with the World
Meteorological Organization’s principle of free and open data
exchange,” said EUMETSAT Director-General Phil Evans. “In this way,
EUMETSAT is reinforcing the value of this type of commercial
arrangement, with the benefits felt by the citizens of our member
states, and other communities globally, through more data for
weather forecasting models.”
Spire offers a vast portfolio of current weather data,
historical weather data, and weather forecast solutions. Most
recently, the Company launched a high-resolution weather forecast
tailor-made for utilities and commodity traders.
