Space-based (LES-ads-B) global flight tracking: satellite-captured ADS-B positions with ocean, desert and mountain coverage where terrestrial receivers cannot see, fused with multi-sourced terrestrial data. Productised as Flights Live API (~5-second updates plus continuous 4-hour-delay streams), Events Stream API, Tracking History API, Flights History API (one JSON object per flight, unique flight ID) and a one-row-per-flight daily Flight Report in CSV on daily/weekly/monthly cadence, enriched with aircraft type, airline, airport and schedule metadata.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular / JSON + CSV — REST APIs returning one JSON object per flight, stream APIs for live positions and events, and a flat one-row-per-flight CSV Flight Report delivered on recurring daily/weekly/monthly cadence
Volume: Planetary scale: global ADS-B capture from a proprietary satellite constellation (tens of spacecraft) — order 10^9 position records/day globally, with the oceanic/remote segment being the non-replicable share; the daily one-row-per-flight CSV report implies ~10^5-10^6 completed flights/day as the flight-level index
Users: Thousands-scale: enterprise API subscribers plus the developer/trial cohort attracted by a free data sample and a public flight-tracking demo (inferred from ~380 employees, ~$71.6M revenue range and a self-serve sample funnel across aviation, maritime and weather lines)
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active but capital-disciplined — a listed company (~$71.6M revenue range, ~380 employees) with an established product matrix still expanding (developer docs, demo, free sample, custom historical delivery, flexible formats); the aviation line is one of several verticals on an existing constellation rather than a new build
Launched: ~2012-2018 — company founded 2012 by co-founders; space-based ADS-B aviation service became commercially available around 2018-2019 after the Lemur-2 / Spire Global Data constellation generation
