A game-changing development in the realm of space-based data and analytics emerges as the European Space Agency (ESA) awards Spire Global Inc. a remarkable €16 million phased contract for the EURIALO project. This ambitious initiative is set to design and demonstrate a pioneering global space-based independent aircraft surveillance system. With its satellite constellation and technology, Spire offers real-time observations of Earth, enabling unprecedented insights into weather patterns, ship and plane movements, and detection of spoofing and jamming activities.
Spire Global Inc., a trailblazing global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, secures a landmark €16 million contract from the European Space Agency (ESA) for the groundbreaking EURIALO project. As part of this ambitious venture, Spire aims to design and demonstrate a global space-based independent aircraft surveillance system that promises to revolutionize aviation surveillance.
Central to Spire's prowess is its fully deployed satellite constellation, equipped with radio frequency technology that enables real-time Earth observation. This invaluable data empowers industries with global weather intelligence, in-depth insights into ship and plane movements, and the detection of spoofing and jamming activities. With a profound impact on economies, global security, business operations, and the environment, Spire's capabilities extend beyond the realm of space exploration.
Through its innovative Space-as-a-Service solutions, Spire enables customers to leverage their established infrastructure for space ventures, elevating businesses to the skies and beyond.
The EURIALO project marks a significant leap in aviation surveillance technology, utilizing multilateration (MLAT) to precisely track aircraft based on radio frequency signals. Spire's mission includes designing and deploying a satellite constellation in low Earth orbit (LEO) and operating a demonstrator mission to validate the system's performance and critical technologies. With the potential to expand into a full constellation of satellites, EURIALO seeks to offer a comprehensive and highly reliable surveillance solution, further complementing the European CNS infrastructure.
Spire's leadership in this transformative project extends to a consortium of major industry players, including ESSP (European Satellite Services Provider), a prominent space-based Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) services provider. Together, they are poised to redefine aircraft surveillance, providing real-time geolocation verification of planes from takeoff to landing anywhere in the world.
Spire Global Inc.'s pioneering efforts in space-based data and analytics reach new heights with the EURIALO project, revolutionizing aircraft surveillance. With the backing of the European Space Agency (ESA), Spire's cutting-edge satellite constellation and MLAT technology promise to deliver the most advanced and reliable system for tracking aircraft globally. As the project takes flight, the collaboration with major industry players signals an exciting future for aviation, enhancing safety and efficiency on a global scale. Spire's groundbreaking achievements herald a transformative era in space-based technology, reshaping the future of aviation surveillance for the better.
