== History ==

===Early Years===

Spire was originally known as '''NanoSatisfi Inc.'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gigaom.com/2014/07/29/spire-formerly-nanosatisfi-raises-25m-series-a-round-to-expand-its-satellite-fleet/|title=Spire, formerly Nanosatisfi, raises $25M Series A round to expand its satellite fleet|first=Signe|last=Brewster|date=July 29, 2014|website=Gigaom}}</ref> NanoSatisfi was founded in June 2012 in {{wipe|San Francisco}} by International Space University graduates Peter Platzer, Jeroen Cappaert and Joel Spark as part of [[Engineering:ArduSat|ArduSat]], a project aiming to “democratize access to space”.<ref name=ViaSat>{{cite web |url=http://www.satellitetoday.com/technology/2014/09/25/from-silicon-valley-to-singapore-spires-ambitious-remote-sensing-strategy/|title=From Silicon Valley to Singapore: Spire's Ambitious Remote Sensing Strategy|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref> Tests for early prototypes were conducted over the summer and the fall through a high-altitude balloon.<ref name=Balloon>{{cite web |url=https://www.sparkfun.com/news/996|title=SparkFun Box in (Near) SPAAAAACE!|date=2012 |access-date=Nov 21, 2012}}</ref> This effort was partly financed through [[Crowdfunding|crowdfunding]], with a KickStarter that raised Spire $106,330.<ref name=KickstarterArdusat>{{cite web |url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/575960623/ardusat-your-arduino-experiment-in-space|title=ArduSat – Your Arduino Experiment in Space – Kickstarter|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref> In November the company signed an agreement with [[Company:NanoRacks|NanoRacks]] for the deployment of two satellites in what was to become “the first U.S. Commercial Satellite Deployment from the [[Astronomy:International Space Station|International Space Station]]”.<ref name=Deployment>{{cite web|url=http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=39286|title=ArduSat Selects NanoRacks for ISS Satellite Deployment|date=2012|access-date=Nov 21, 2012}}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In order to raise the capital required for the manufacturing of those satellites, the company incubated with Lemnos Labs. It raised investments totaling $1.5M in a [[Finance:Seed money|seed round]] by Shasta Ventures, [https://www.lemnos.vc Lemnos Labs], E-merge, Grishin Robotics, and [https://www.beamonte.com Beamonte Investments] in February 2013.<ref name=gigaom125>{{cite web |url=https://gigaom.com/2013/07/11/nanosatisfi-will-let-anyone-conduct-experiments-in-space-for-125/|title=ArduSat will let anyone conduct experiments in space for $125|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref> A year after signing with NanoRacks, on November 19, 2013, both ArduSat-1 and ArduSat-X (1U CubeSats) were successfully released from the Kibo Experiment Module of the International Space Station and quickly started transmitting data to Spire servers.<ref name=DeploymentKibo>{{cite web |url=https://www.nasa.gov/content/crew-deploys-tiny-satellites-and-tests-spacesuit-repairs|title=Crew Deploys Tiny Satellites and Tests Spacesuit Repairs|date=2013 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref>

Following this experimentation, Spire engineers opted to focus on 3U nanosatellites to start porting more complex [[Engineering:Payload|payload]]s, launching the first iteration of its standard satellite format, Lemur-1, with the Dnepr rocket in June 2014, transiting from 1U to 3U in only seven months, and launching its first prototype just two years after incorporation.<ref name=3U>{{cite web |url=https://www.spire.com/spirepedia/cubesat|title=CubeSat – Spire|date=2019 |access-date=Nov 21, 2018}}</ref><ref name=Dnepr>{{cite web |url=https://spacenews.com/spire-global-aims-to-orbit-25-smallsats-in-2015/|title=Spire Global Aims To Orbit 25 Smallsats in 2015 – Spire|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref>

On the basis of this early success, Spire announced in July a follow-up $25M [[Finance:Series A round|Series A funding round]] led by RRE Ventures and backed by Emerge, Mitsui & Co. Global Investment, and Mousse Partners.<ref name="WSJVC">{{cite news|url=https://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2014/07/29/microsatellite-company-spire-raises-25m-rocket-lab-unveils-new-rocket/|title=Nanosatellite Company Spire Raises $25M, Rocket Lab Unveils New Rocket|newspaper=Wall Street Journal |date=2014|access-date=Nov 21, 2014 |last1=Gage |first1=Deborah }}</ref><ref name=SpireSeriesAPR>{{cite press release |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Spire announces $25 million in series A to fuel growth and help fulfill early customer demand|url=http://spire.com/insights/news/spire-funding-annoucement/|location=San Francisco |date=2014-06-29 |access-date=2014-11-21}}</ref> The following month, the company announced that ArduSat would be spun-off of the company and would focus exclusively on [[Engineering:Educational technology|educational technology]] in partnership with U.S. high schools.<ref name=ArdusatRecode>{{cite web |url=http://recode.net/2014/08/27/a-higher-education-satellite-startup-aims-to-inspire-students-through-experiments-in-space/|title=A Higher Education: Satellite Startup Aims to Inspire Students Through Experiments in Space|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref> Shortly after, Spire opened its Singapore office in late 2014 and started steadily increasing its network of ground stations.<ref name=Singapore>{{cite web |url=https://www.edb.gov.sg/en/our-industries/company-highlights/spire-global.html|title=Spire Global makes strategic push to expand into Asia|date=2014 |access-date=Nov 21, 2014}}</ref>

===Growth===

On June 30, 2015, the company announced a $40 Million Series B led by [http://www.promusventures.com/ Promus Ventures] with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners and Jump Capital.<ref name="WSJVC40M">{{cite news|url=https://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2015/06/30/spire-raises-40-million-for-its-listening-satellites/|title=Spire Raises $40 Million for Its 'Listening Satellites'|newspaper=Wall Street Journal |date=2016|access-date=Mar 29, 2016 |last1=Hay |first1=Timothy }}</ref> in order to help finance the first batches of Lemur satellites. The first Lemur-2 were launched in September 2015 through the [[Engineering:Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle|Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]]-XL, making Spire the first US-based operator to launch from India.<ref name=PSLVSN>{{cite web |url=http://spacenews.com/pslv-rocket-launches-indias-1st-astronomy-satellite/|title=PSLV Rocket Launches India's 1st Astronomy Satellite, 4 Spire Cubesats|date=2015 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> This launch inaugurated the Spire tradition to leave the naming of each satellite to employees, with the first 3 Lemurs christened respectively Joel, Peter and Jeroen after the company's co-founders.

Facing increasing pressure to mass-produce satellites and constrained by the limited space in its San Francisco office, Spire opened an office in Glasgow in February 2015, initially leveraging Clyde Space's facilities, before opening its own full-fledged [[Engineering:Cleanroom|cleanroom]] for satellite manufacturing in December 2015.<ref name=GlasgowOpen>{{cite web |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/11/15/1193534/0/en/Spire-Opens-a-European-HQ-in-Luxembourg-Raises-Additional-70M.html|title=Spire Opens a European HQ in Luxembourg, Raises Additional $70M|date=2015 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> The city was chosen to leverage the local know-how of what is widely considered the leading European ecosystem in small satellite production and establish a first foothold in Europe.<ref name=Glasgow>{{cite web |url=https://www.sdi.co.uk/success-stories/spire|title=Why Spire Chose to Set Up in Scotland|date=2015 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> These facilities enabled Spire to quickly produce a first batch of four nanosatellites (launched in September) before manufacturing a full eight Lemur satellites ahead of an [[Engineering:Atlas V|Atlas V]] launch in March 2016. This launch saw Spire cross the line of 10 simultaneously operating satellites in June of that year, following deployment from the ISS. Two additional launches were conducted that year, putting the total satellites sent to space by the company that year at sixteen, confirming its ability to industrialize the manufacturing process of its nanosatellites.<ref name=2016launches>{{cite web |url=https://www.spaceworks.aero/wp-content/uploads/SpaceWorks_Nano_Microsatellite_Market_Forecast_2017.pdf|title=Nano-Microsatellite Market Forecast 2017|date=2017 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref>

Concomitantly, Spire opened a second U.S. campus in Boulder, Colorado, in January 2016. The company hired Dave Ector<ref name="Dave">{{cite web |url=https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/a-quiet-revolution-in-weather-forecasting/|title=A Quiet Revolution in Weather Forecasting|date=2016|access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> – the former program manager for [[Organization:NASA|NASA]]’s COSMIC satellites – and Alexander MacDonald<ref name=Sandy>{{cite web |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2018/09/18/satellite-company-expanding-in-boulder/|title=Boulder to be site of global satellite company's largest facility|date=2018|access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> – former director of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory – and started drawing on the resources of the local weather ecosystem (powered by the [[Organization:University of Colorado Boulder|University of Colorado Boulder]]) to kickstart its weather program in the city. To this effect, the team started working on Spire's own Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO) payload, enabling the company to constantly collect highly accurate data on local atmospheric properties which greatly enhance the forecasting abilities of weather models.<ref name="Dave"/><ref name="Weatherforecast">{{cite web |url=https://www.gps.gov/governance/advisory/meetings/2017-11/vergados.pdf|title=GNSS Radio Occultation – Applications for Weather Forecasting|date=2017|access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> This program quickly enabled Spire to participate in the inaugural Commercial Weather Data Pilot program of the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration in September 2016.<ref name=CWDP>{{cite web |url=https://www.space.commerce.gov/business-with-noaa/commercial-weather-data-pilot-cwdp|title=Commercial Weather Data Pilot|date=2016 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> Spire's participation was confirmed and broadened in September 2018 for the second round of the CWDP program.<ref name=CWDP2>{{cite web |url=https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/content/noaa-continues-push-toward-innovative-partnerships-second-round-commercial-weather-data|title=Commercial Weather Data Pilot – Round 2|date=2018 |access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> This program aims to enable weather-focused administrations to procure data (largely obtained from Radio Occultation profiles) created by private entities in order to improve the precision of the publicly available weather models.

Over 2017, the company launched 6 missions, yielding an additional 36 operated satellites despite the [[Astronomy:List of spaceflight-related accidents and incidents|critical failure]] of a [[Engineering:Soyuz (rocket)|Soyuz]] vehicle carrying 10 Lemurs in November.<ref name=Soyuzfail>{{cite web |url=https://spacenews.com/soyuz-satellites-feared-lost-in-launch-failure/|title=Soyuz satellites feared lost in launch failure|date=2017 |access-date=Jan 23, 2018}}</ref> Spire closed the year by completing a $70m Series C led by the Government of Luxembourg (through its national Luxembourg Future Fund), and opened its second European campus in the city, enabling the company's access to regional talent and facilities.<ref name="SP20171">{{cite web |url=https://spire.com/company/insights/news/spire-opens-european-hq-luxembourg-raises-addition/|title=Spire Opens a European HQ in Luxembourg, Raises Additional $70M'|date=2017 |access-date=Jan 23, 2018}}</ref>  This round put the total amount of capital raised by Spire at $140.5m.

In early 2018, Spire participated in the second flight of [[Company:Rocket Lab|Rocket Lab]]’s [[Engineering:Electron (rocket)|Electron]] rocket, and was selected for [[Company:Arianespace|Arianespace]]’s [[Engineering:Vega (rocket)|Vega]] Proof of Concept,<ref name=Vega>{{cite web |url=http://www.arianespace.com/press-release/spire-selects-arianespace|title=Spire selects Arianespace|date=2018 |access-date=Jan 23, 2018}}</ref> further broadening its launch portfolio. It participated in a total of 7 launch missions – yielding 28 new operated satellites – and developed its own ADS-B payload able to track the movement of equipped airplanes across areas that conventional ground radars can not cover, and that is quickly becoming a standard following the MH370 disappearance.<ref name="Wired">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/story/a-strange-kind-of-data-tracks-the-weather-and-pirate-ships/|title=A Strange Kind of Data Tracks the Weather—and Pirate Ships|magazine=Wired |date=2018 |access-date=Jan 23, 2018 |last1=Scoles |first1=Sarah }}</ref>

On March 1, 2021, the company announced an agreement to go public via a merger with the [[Finance:Special-purpose acquisition company|SPAC]] (special-purpose acquisition company) Navsight. The merger, completed in the third quarter of 2021, valued the company at $1.6 billion.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Satellite constellation operator Spire Global to go public via $1.6 billion SPAC|url=https://social.techcrunch.com/2021/03/01/satellite-constellation-operator-spire-global-to-go-public-via-1-6-billion-spac/|access-date=2021-03-01|website=TechCrunch|language=en-US}}</ref>

Spire's stock began trading in New York stock exchange on August 17, 2021. Spire had a market value of $1.6 billion and about $265 million in cash on its books after the close of the SPAC merger. In the year before, 2020, Spire had booked $36 million in revenue. Also at the time of stock market debut, the company had more than 110 satellites in orbit and ground stations in 16 countries, with more than 70 antennas on its ground stations. At the time, Spire did not expect to grow its constellation of Lemur satellites, as the company did not see “any customer demand” that would require a larger constellation of satellites. Despite not growing its constellation, Spire would continue to build and launch satellites as the Lemur satellites are refreshed on a three-year hardware replacement cycle. When listing in the stock exchange Spire had offices in four countries: the U.S., the U.K., Luxembourg and Singapore and customers in nearly 30 countries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/17/spire-global-space-company-spir-begins-nyse-trading-after-spac-merger.html|title=Satellite company Spire begins trading on the NYSE after completing SPAC merger|first=Michael|last=Sheetz|date=August 17, 2021|website=CNBC}}</ref>

Due to missing projected revenue targets and rising losses, Spire's market value started falling after the first quarterly report. As of April 30, 2022, the company had a market cap of $231 million, less than half of the $557 million in capital invested in the company, and less than the cash on its books after the close of the SPAC merger.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Spire Global, Inc.

The company's satellites are multi-sensor. Data types such as Automatic Identification System (AIS) service are used for tracking sea vessels. This data is valuable for use in illegal fishing, trade monitoring, maritime domain awareness, [[Finance:Insurance|insurance]], [[Asset tracking|asset tracking]], search and rescue, and prevention of piracy, among others.<ref name="Wired"/> Spire's Sense product leveraging the company's AIS data set was officially launched in February 2019.<ref name="SpireMaritime"/>

The GNSS-RO weather payload measure [[Physics:Temperature|temperature]], [[Physics:Pressure|pressure]], among other key characteristics across a “slice” of the [[Astronomy:Atmosphere|atmosphere]], or "profile". These characteristics are highly valuable for public and private [[Earth:Weather forecasting|weather forecasters]] across the world as they strongly increase the forecasting capabilities of [[Earth:Numerical weather prediction|weather models]].<ref name="Dave"/><ref name="Weatherforecast"/>

ADS-B sensors were launched in 2018 to permanently track aircraft across all skies. This data is getting increasingly regarded as the new standard for modern aviation as it enables air controllers and companies to constantly monitor aircraft across isolated areas and oceans which ground-based radars are not able to cover.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/03/07/1417824/0/en/Spire-s-First-ADS-B-Plane-Tracking-Satellites-to-Enter-Service-by-the-End-of-Q2.html|title=Spire's First ADS-B Plane Tracking Satellites to Enter Service by the End of Q2|access-date=2018-10-30|language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2020, Spire announced its intention to add intersatellite links to its satellites, allowing for lower latency between data collection and delivery to a gateway site.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-23|title=Spire adding cross links to cubesat constellation|url=https://spacenews.com/spire-adding-cross-links-to-cubesat-constellation/|access-date=2020-09-24|website=SpaceNews|language=en-US}}</ref>
