| | First FireSat to Launch Soon, Ushering in a New Era of Wildfire Detection & Monitoring |
| | Earth Fire Alliance & Muon Space's on-orbit demonstration for FireSat, the first-of-its-kind satellite constellation built specifically to address the global wildfire challenge, will launch in March. Developed in collaboration with hundreds of first responders, FireSat is designed to address the needs of the wildfire community. FireSat’s full operational capabilities will be unmatched by any combination of satellite systems, existing or planned, in terms of data resolution and latency. The Alliance is forming an Early Adopter program of fire agencies, fire scientists, and fire tech companies around the world to help refine FireSat data products and define seamless data delivery mechanisms. This on-orbit demonstration will accelerate adoption of near real-time FireSat data when it becomes available with the first three operational satellites in 2026. Follow us and stay tuned for more updates! |
