Spire Global has put its new US satellite manufacturing capability into orbit, launching the first three spacecraft built at its Boulder, Colorado facility as demand for domestically produced space systems grows across national security and defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The satellites flew aboard SpaceX\u2019s Transporter-18 rideshare mission, marking the first operational deployment from the facility and expanding Spire\u2019s ability to build, integrate and test spacecraft entirely on US soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move gives Spire an end-to-end domestic production base aimed at government customers seeking faster deployment, tighter supply-chain control and resilient access to critical space infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theresa Condor, CEO, Spire Global, said the deployment represented an important step in supporting US national security missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy establishing end-to-end satellite production on US soil, we can provide US national security and defense partners with the speed, resilience and domestic infrastructure needed to develop and deploy mission-specific capabilities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spire said its Boulder operation combines satellite development, manufacturing, integration and testing under one vertically integrated roof. The company argues this model can shorten deployment timelines while strengthening security around sensitive spacecraft and their supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combined with Spire\u2019s existing production operations in the UK and Europe, the company said it now has capacity to manufacture between 300 and 400 satellites annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion comes as governments increasingly seek sovereign space capabilities and more resilient domestic supply chains. For Spire, Boulder creates a US production hub capable of serving defence and intelligence missions without relying on overseas manufacturing infrastructure for critical spacecraft production and rapid deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
