Spire & ESA Bring Space-as-a-Service to The World
The way we access space is changing and everyone should be a part of it. Getting to space used to be a very hard thing. You had to build your own satellite or contract one, integrate sensors, find a launch partner, build ground station partners, and hope it all worked. ESA’s ARTES program was created to facilitate the demonstration of new and advanced technologies, systems, services, and applications that lower those barriers of entry to orbit. Those dreams and ambitions combine to form the ultimate idea: A space mission provider – someone who can provide all of the technological access to space as a simple service offering.
Spire’s satellites have more than 4 decades of collective time in orbit and talk to a robust
network of self-built and operated ground stations. Spire quite literally handles all of the heavy
lifting necessary for businesses to get their ideas into orbit.
