Three FireSat satellites lift off from Vandenberg to begin a global 50-satellite network that will detect fires as small as a beach bonfire with 20-minute revisit times, providing high-resolution infrared data to fire agencies and researchers to improve early detection, differentiate cool from hot fires, and inform response and evacuation planning.
Muon Space's new FireSat satellite, launched in 2025, uses advanced infrared technology to scan Earth every 20 minutes, enabling early wildfire detection with high precision, and plans to expand this system into a constellation of over 50 satellites by 2030 to improve global wildfire monitoring and response.
Muon Space has launched its FireSat satellite, the first in a planned constellation of over 50 satellites designed to scan the entire Earth every 20 minutes to detect wildfires using multi-band infrared sensors, aiming to improve wildfire response and mitigation.
Muon Space has released the first thermal infrared images from its FireSat satellite, demonstrating its capability to detect heat signatures from space, which will enhance wildfire detection and monitoring globally. The satellite, launched in March 2023, captures high-quality thermal data, with plans to expand the constellation to over 50 satellites by 2030 for more frequent Earth coverage, aiding first responders and researchers.
