Spire Global, Inc. reports developments in satellite data, analytics and space services built around its owned nanosatellite constellation and radio-frequency sensing technology. The company’s updates focus on space-based weather intelligence, ship and aircraft movement data, spoofing and jamming detection, GNSS radio occultation and reflectometry, RF geolocation, and customer use of its Space as a Service infrastructure.
Recurring news also covers satellite launches, constellation replenishment, satellite manufacturing capability, government and commercial space programs, and applications in agriculture, aviation, maritime tracking, geomagnetic measurement and security intelligence. Spire’s announcements often connect its satellite payloads, ground infrastructure and data products to specialized monitoring and decision-support use cases.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) was selected by Precursor SPC to supply GNSS radio occultation (RO) profiles to support continuous, real-time hypersonic tracking and assured attribution.
Key points: Spire can produce up to 20,000 RO profiles per day; data integrated into Precursor's AI/ML ionospheric nowcasting; deployed during Artemis II launch and re-entry.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) entered a securities purchase agreement for a $70.0 million private placement, selling 5.0 million Class A shares at $14.00 per share. The private placement is expected to close on or about April 10, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The company said net proceeds will fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including accelerating U.S. and international growth in space reconnaissance, commercial weather data for government procurement, sales and marketing expansion, RF geolocation and weather technology deployment, and cybersecurity hardening. Craig-Hallum Capital Group acted as sole placement agent.
Spire (NYSE: SPIR) expanded its agriculture intelligence offering on April 7, 2026 by integrating satellite-derived soil moisture data with weather forecasts. The solution combines 40+ years of historical records, near-real-time observations, site-specific forecasts up to 45 days, and AI-driven sub-seasonal guidance up to six weeks.
The API-delivered product targets digital farming platforms, insurers, agribusinesses and government agencies to enable earlier crop-stress detection, improved irrigation scheduling, and scalable global deployment without heavy sensor dependence.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) launched a satellite on April 1, 2026 aboard SpaceX Transporter 16 to support the NGA’s MagQuest Challenge, integrating Spire’s satellite infrastructure with SBQuantum’s diamond quantum magnetometer.
The mission will deliver geomagnetic data to NOAA and NASA for the World Magnetic Model and may receive additional funding after the three-year demonstration.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) successfully launched ten satellites on SpaceX’s Transporter-16 mission on March 30, 2026. The payloads include a MagQuest satellite with a diamond quantum magnetometer, Spire’s seventh Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) vehicle, four Myriota IoT satellites, HANCOM InSpace Sejong-3, two customer satellites, and an ADS-B replenishment craft.
Post-launch, Spire will provide geomagnetic data to NOAA and NASA for assessment; OISL development is supported by ESA and UKSA.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) demonstrated single-satellite radio frequency (RF) geolocation on orbit, detecting and geolocating S-band and X-band emitters. The capability was shown using a satellite launched in late 2025 on SpaceX Bandwagon-4, co-funded by Luxembourg under an ESA LuxIMPULSE contract.
This expands Spire's RF sensing across VHF, UHF, GNSS L-band, S-band, and X-band and is positioned to support defense and national security RF intelligence and GEOINT workflows.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) reported fourth-quarter 2025 GAAP revenue of $15.8M, down 27% year-over-year but up 44% excluding the divested maritime business. Fourth-quarter net loss was $25.1M with adjusted EBITDA of ($9.7M). Cash and equivalents were $81.8M and the company remains debt-free.
Business highlights include 21 satellites launched or shipped in Q4 and award of a Missile Defense Agency IDIQ contract with a shared ceiling of $151B. 2026 revenue guidance (ex-maritime) targets >50% growth versus 2025.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) received first data from its Hyperspectral Microwave Sounder (HyMS) demonstrator satellite, achieving a “first light” milestone and validating hyperspectral microwave sensing in orbit. HyMS provides >1,000 sensing channels across key water vapor and temperature bands in a compact form factor.
This capability complements Spire’s Radio Occultation data to deliver higher-vertical-resolution atmospheric profiling, improved resilience to radio-frequency interference, and expanded observations for government and commercial customers, particularly in data-sparse regions and severe weather.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) appointed John Martinez to its board of directors, effective March 9, 2026. Martinez is chief legal officer at Parsons and previously served as chief legal officer at Maximus, bringing more than two decades of government, defense, and intelligence sector experience to Spire.
The appointment underscores Spire's focus on expanding sovereign-ready space intelligence for U.S. and allied partners.
Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR) confirmed that ten multipurpose satellites have arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base ahead of the Transporter-16 rideshare launch with SpaceX on March 2026. All ten satellites were designed, built, integrated, and tested in-house to support customer, government, and constellation replenishment missions.
Eight satellites will serve RF data, cybersecurity space capabilities, IoT connectivity, and remote sensing; the launch includes Spire's seventh Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) and one replenishment satellite. Spire has now designed, built, and launched over 220 satellites across 40+ launch campaigns.
