Spire Global Secures $1.2 Million NASA Extension for Critical Earth Observation Data

Spire Global (SPIR), a provider of space-based data and analytics, has been awarded a $1.2 million contract extension from NASA to continue delivering its advanced Earth observation data for another two months. The latest task order builds on a $6.7 million contract issued in August 2024 under NASA’s CSDA Program.

As one of the original CSDA vendors, Spire has been supplying NASA with critical satellite-derived datasets since 2018. Under this renewed agreement, the company will provide continued access to its radio occultation data, GNSS Reflectometry, and space weather measurements, all vital inputs for improving weather prediction, atmospheric analysis, and long-term climate research.

The data will help support federally funded research aimed at enhancing global forecasting capabilities and understanding atmospheric conditions at scale. Spire’s real-time radio frequency-based satellite technology remains central to this effort, offering NASA consistent, commercial access to high-quality data streams sourced from its proprietary satellite constellation.
