| First FireSat Launches, Ushering in a New Era of Space-Based Wildfire Detection & Monitoring |
| Earth Fire Allianceannounced that first FireSat spacecraft successfully launched March 14. This on-orbit demonstration marks a significant milestone for the Alliance and its partners in their shared goal to provide high-fidelity detection, monitoring, and understanding of wildfires globally. FireSat is a first-of-its kind satellite constellation purpose-built to address the global wildfire challenge and to help mitigate the effects of intense, fast-moving, disaster fires.
|
| Earth Fire Alliance has formed an Early Adopter program of fire agencies, fire scientists, and fire tech companies around the world to help refine FireSat data products and define data delivery mechanisms. The Alliance works with participating fire agencies to learn their workflows, then collaborates with agency technology partners to determine the best way to ingest FireSat data into those platforms once the operational satellites launch next year.
