AirSafe Tracking Stream

Spire’s AirSafe Tracking Stream delivers the Target Updates as soon they are received and processed from both Satellite and Terrestrial sources in a data stream. It was designed to support multiple use cases:

The ADS-B capable aircraft transponders emit several messages with different bits of information several times per second. Spire’s satellites collect these messages that are procesed into a Target Update, that is an update for each ICAO address for each 5 second interval.
