Spire Global<\/strong>, a leading global provider of satellite data, analytics, and intelligence, successfully launched nine satellites aboard SpaceX<\/strong>\u2019s Twilight mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. As part of the mission, Spire launched its Hyperspectral Microwave Sounder (HyMS) satellite demonstrator, a compact, space-ready sensor built to advance global weather forecasting from space. <\/p>\n

HyMS is designed to capture detailed internal views of the Earth\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrowave sounding is one of the most impactful satellite observations for weather forecasting models worldwide, alongside radio occultation profiles,\u201d said Theresa Condor<\/strong>, CEO of Spire Global<\/strong>. \u201cThis area represents a multi-billion-dollar global atmospheric sounding need, driven by the essential role these observations play in delivering accurate temperature and moisture profiles, particularly in cloudy conditions. With the successful launch of our Hyperspectral Microwave Sounder demonstrator, we are proud to strengthen our ability to support global forecasting agencies and further enable efficient and effective private sector participation in the global observing system.\u201d<\/p>\n

On this mission, the Company also launched eight satellites for Myriota, expanding the IoT provider\u2019s 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\u2019s IoT network. Since partnering in 2021, Myriota has scaled its IoT connectivity platform rapidly by deploying its network software on Spire satellites that are optimized to host and run Myriota\u2019s advanced network in space. The continued expansion strengthens Myriota\u2019s ability to deliver low-power, secure, and resilient IoT connectivity serving industries such as agriculture, water management, logistics, and environmental monitoring.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working closely with Spire to expand our presence in this orbit, we\u2019re delivering meaningful improvements for customers \u2013 faster message delivery, greater reliability, and stronger overall network performance. This investment marks a new level of Ultralight Network capability for Myriota customers worldwide,\u201d said Paul Alexander<\/strong>, Chief Network Officer at Myriota<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
