August 4, 2017 |Satellite

For the ground segment for its planned Lemur satellite system, Spire Global is asking for FCC International Bureau OK to operate seven earth stations in Alaska, Arizona, Guam, Hawaii, Minnesota, North Carolina and Utah. In a series of bureau applications filed Wednesday (for example, here), Spire said Lemur will provide aircraft, maritime and meteorological monitoring. It asked for authority to use the 402-403 MHz band for uplinks and the 2020-2025 MHz band for downlinks.
