In this Better Satellite World podcast, SSPI's Lou Zacharilla speaks with Jeff Rex, Vice President of Business Development, Earth Intelligence at Spire Global, which won a Better Satellite World Award in 2022 for its usage of satellite-based data and analytics to combat climate change. Jeff Rex is Vice President of Business Development, Earth Intelligence at Spire Global, a position he has held for 1.5 years. He previously served as Vice President of Engineering, Weather. Before joining Spire, he held a variety of management positions in the industry, including serving as Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Business Development at FLYHT, Director of Engineering & Business Development at Panasonic, Vice President of Engineering & Product Integration at AirDat and Vice President of Integration & Operations at L2 Consulting/L2 Aviation. Jeff began his career as a Federal Account Manager for Dell. Climate change continues to be a major and developing threat around the world. Spire Global has responded by using space-based data and analytics, provided by its constellation of over 100 multipurpose satellites, to help governments and the private sector monitor, adapt to and reverse the effects of climate change in several ways. Spire's Earth Intelligence data provides crucial information on environmental factors, including sea ice levels and soil moisture, which can be used in climate change research and development of solutions. For example, the company's data is currently being used to monitor soil moisture in Scotland's peatlands. The peatlands cover 20% of the country and are one of the most efficient carbon stores in the world; they currently contain roughly 140 years of the nation's total current greenhouse gas emissions. When the bogs are damaged, however, they become carbon emitters instead. Restoring the peatlands is crucial to prevent such emissions, and Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) is using Spire's data to map wetlands and monitor their dynamics, providing necessary information on which areas most require restoration and protection.

In today's episode, we welcome on Joel Spark, cofounder and chief satellite architect at Spire. The “space-to-cloud” data and analytics provider flys a proprietary constellation of 100+ nanosatellites to collect and analyze data from Earth. The data spans weather forecasting, maritime domain awareness, aviation, and more. Spire is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and currently has a market cap of ~$150M. Today's episode is brought to you by Kepler Communications, a company bringing the internet to space. A sneak peek The back half of our conversation focuses on Spire's “Space Services” play, and the concept of space-as-a-service. Before that, though, we explore Joel's journey into the industry and how he was “spacepilled,” and unpack the mind-blowing fact that Spire began as a KickStarter crowdfunding campaign.

Jeroen shares insights about from their nanosatellite constellation, funding rounds, the company's growth processes and tech team organization to work at high frequency, their most challenging satellite launches and where he sees the differences between the U.S and the E.U. in terms of New Space.
Alerta 5G Zomwificando a la humanidad , para poner esto en perspectiva : En septiembre de 2017 había 1738 satélites operativos en órbita alrededor de la tierra, en febrero de 2018 los dos primeros satélites de prueba 5G fueron lanzados por SPACE X . El conjunto completo de 20.000 satélites 5G podría ponerse en órbita durante los próximos 2 años repartidos por las siguientes corporaciones que dicho de paso pertenecen a la élite controladora : SPACE X 12.000 satel.5G,ONEWEB 4.500,BOEING 2956,SPIRE GLOBAL 972.( Más las incontables empresas fantasma ) esto que ya tenemos encima de nuestras cabezas es muy preocupante , los daños colaterales para los humanos y la vida en general son irreversibles . Desde el Rincón del Nagual hacemos un llamamiento para que todos tomemos conciencia , estos necios controladores ignorantes no cuentan con que la Madre Tierra GAIA se va a defender y cuenta con nosotros para lograrlo . Os pido por favor que escucheis la valiosa información puesto que contiene datos que no vais a encontrar en otro sitio y empezar a movilizaros , un saludo .
The first alert came on January 27. Two small satellites, whirling through Earth's low orbits, had “the potential for a conjunction.” Those are the words Major Cody Chiles, spokesperson for the Joint Force Space Component Command, uses to mean "the chance of a collision." The satellites, one from a company called Capella Space and the other from Spire Global, could smack into each other.
