Greece is using thermal satellites to spot wildfires before people do
The system is built around four small satellites that fly in low Earth orbit and repeatedly pass over the same areas. Developed by German firm OroraTech in partnership with the Hellenic Space Centre, the constellation is designed specifically to detect fires and hotspots rather than serve as a general Earth...Read Entire Article

How new satellites and AI are detecting wildfires early
This year is becoming one of the worst for U.S. wildfires in at least a decade. There have been more fires and more acreage burned at this point in the year compared to any in the last ten. With fire seasons growing longer, early detection is critical. Special correspondent Ben Tracy of Climate Central reports on how AI is being used to spot fires faster. It's part of our series, Tipping Point.

OroraTech, a geospatial intelligence company based in Munich, Germany, put into orbit eight satellites dedicated exclusively to forest fire detection. The company, founded in 2018, describes the achievement as the world's first satellite constellation designed for that task alone, with artificial intelligence integrated in data processing ...
