HRIDE
Status date: 19 March 2021
HRIDE has demonstrated the use of ionospheric products collected by Spire’s LEO satellites. These satellites measure the total electron content by monitoring signals from GNSS. Spire has developed an ionospheric data assimilation model and a space weather API that permits users to extract data. The project has demonstrated the use of the ionospheric model to provide corrections for positioning algorithms.
SAIUDMA
Status date: 11 March 2021
A new ground-to-space air quality (AQ) analytics platform for city and traffic planning departments with the purpose of positioning data insights at the heart of managing resilient urban environments. Our analytics products form the decision making basis for investing in initiatives that help reduce harmful pollution and push for the design of new infrastructure sensitive to local residential communities and vulnerable population cohorts whilst allowing for sustainable economic development.
