Spire LEMUR payload for space-based reception of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast aircraft position reports.

Sensor

AirSafe ADS-B receiver is a passive RF payload for space-based reception of ADS-B Out aircraft position reports. It receives 1090 MHz ADS-B broadcasts from aircraft in Low Earth orbit collection workflows, with downstream services combining satellite reception and ground collection for aircraft surveillance [1][2]. ADS-B Out position reporting commonly uses 1090 MHz Mode S Extended Squitter, matching the 1.09 GHz receiver band used for this payload [3][4]. For buyers evaluating coverage inputs, the payload is an RF signal-collection receiver rather than an imaging sensor: its value is in extending aircraft broadcast reception beyond terrestrial receiver geometry, not in measuring reflected or emitted Earth radiance [2].
