Spire Global Opens Satellite Manufacturing Facility in Munich to Enhance Germany's Space Capabilities
Spire Global, Inc., a leading provider of satellite data and analytics, has announced the establishment of a satellite manufacturing facility in Munich, Germany. This new site is designed to bolster Germany's ability to deploy and operate space-based intelligence capabilities. The facility will initially focus on developing satellites for the EURIALO project, supported by the European Space Agency's Space Systems for Safety & Security program. The project aims to advance GNSS-independent aircraft geolocation capabilities, using a multi-satellite architecture to detect and process radio frequency emissions directly from aircraft. This initiative is a significant step towards next-generation radio frequency geolocation and space-based signal intelligence capabilities. The Munich facility is equipped to produce up to 100 satellites per year, featuring an ISO-certified clean room and vertically integrated infrastructure.
