We are happy to announce that we have been awarded a contract by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design a satellite that could carry the agency’s sensor to very low Earth orbit (VLEO) to improve characterization of the ionosphere.
“Spire is proud to be supporting DARPA’s efforts to advance our understanding of the ionosphere. Spire has built and launched over 150 satellites in the decade since the company was founded, and we’re excited to bring that heritage and experience in ionospheric data collection to this project,” said Kamal Arafeh.
