LEMUR-2-Ahmed-Asrar, 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 GPS radio occultation soundings that profile atmospheric temperature and humidity from surface to stratosphere, feeding weather forecasts over oceans where no ground station could ever reach.
