Spire to Provide Hyper-Local Weather Forecasting Solution for Southern Launch’s Rocket Launch Sites
The Spire Weather Point Optimized Forecast offers accounts for local sensors and weather patterns in an exact location and creates a customized, accurate forecast for that location.
“Rocket launches are extensively pre-planned for a specific outcome, where the launch window is calculated based on the location of the destination on its orbit. Weather events have a direct impact on the actual mission itself, therefore are monitored frequently within the site region. We expect that having access to the Spire Point Optimized Weather forecasts will increase our chances of performing a safe launch, leading to a successful mission, even in the most remote locations,” said
“Weather conditions can dramatically impact the safety and timeliness of airborne travel and rocket launches, leading to expensive cancellations and delays,” said
