PlanetiQ

PlanetiQ is a provider of GNSS radio occultation weather data. It also sells AI insights built on that data. The company says its customers include governments and businesses that need accurate forecasts. It was founded in 2015 by Chris McCormick. He is a pioneer in GNSS radio occultation receivers.

The company operates a growing group of satellites. The site says these satellites collect neutral atmosphere and ionosphere data. The site also describes radio frequency sensing. This sensing can detect and locate GNSS jamming and spoofing. PlanetiQ says it provides its data to the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Space Force, and other partners.

The company holds government contracts. In September 2025, NOAA awarded PlanetiQ a $24.3 million contract under the Commercial Data Program. The site also reports a two-year NOAA award valued up to $47.3 million. That award covers GNSS radio occultation and ionospheric data.

The site describes uses for energy companies. It says the data can improve wind and solar forecasts. It also says the data can help with power grid planning and energy demand forecasts. These uses appear in a separate Energy and Renewables section.

The site says the team has more than 100 years of combined experience in satellites, sensor design, and weather sciences. Its chief scientist, Dr. Kursinski, has published more than 75 papers. He previously served as an associate professor at the University of Arizona. The company's product line includes a fourth generation receiver called Pyxis.

The site has news, careers, FAQs, and a LinkedIn page. Its contact form asks for a name, email, title, address and country.
