It operates a fleet of over 110 CubeSats, the second-largest commercial constellation by the number of satellites, and the largest by the number of sensors. The satellites are designed and built in-house, and the company has launched over 140 of them since its inception. Spire has offices in several locations around the world, including San Francisco, Boulder, Washington D.C., Glasgow, Luxembourg, Singapore, and Cambridge, Ontario. It was founded in 2012 as NanoSatisfi Inc. and rebranded as Spire in 2014.
