LEMUR-2-Nimbus2000, one of Spire Global's hundreds of nearly identical CubeSats, each given a genuine human name rather than a serial number — a deliberate quirk that makes a fleet this size feel oddly personal. This one carries atmospheric data that's proven, repeatedly, to measurably sharpen storm forecasts the moment it's fed into prediction models.
