LEMUR-2-Peterg, one of Spire Global's LEMUR-2 constellation satellites — compact 3U CubeSats carrying atmospheric data feeding weather forecast models that improve accuracy over the ocean regions where most storms are born. Spire's tradition of giving individual satellites human first-and-last names, rather than sequential numbers, makes its constellation of hundreds feel oddly personal for a fleet this size.
