AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Spire Global has been awarded a two-year, $28 million contract by NOAA to advance hyperspectral microwave sounding toward operational weather forecasting. The program will integrate HyMS payloads with Spire's on-orbit platform, aiming for a 2030 deployment and resilience to RF interference. The award follows a $3 million NOAA extension earlier this month and builds on Spire's January 2026 HyMS demonstrator launch.

  • Spire secures 2-year, $28M NOAA contract for HyMS development.
  • NOAA previously extended a $3M contract for demonstrator evaluation.
  • Operational capability targeted to begin no later than 2030.
  • HyMS on a commercial satellite platform could transform weather forecasting.
  • Spire launched HyMS demonstrator in January 2026; momentum continues.
