LEMUR2 v4.4 nanosatellite by Spire Global. LEMUR (Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver) satellite performs a variety of jobs. It can track aircraft and ships as well as provide information about the climate and weather.
Of the thousands of small satellites in orbit around Earth, more than a hundred are LEMUR nanosatellites. Together they form constellations which move around the Earth, covering the whole globe. The satellites listen to radio signals and as the signals pass through the Earth's atmosphere they change, providing valuable information for climate scientists.
