- Greece tackles climate change wildfire risk with satellite network that can spot a blaze the size of a parking space
Greece has launched a satellite constellation to detect wildfires as small as four meters wide, enhancing wildfire response. The system, developed by OroraTech, integrates AI to prioritize alerts and address Greece's high wildfire risk amid rising temperatures.
- Suitcase-sized satellites are scanning for Greek wildfires in a global first
Greece has launched four suitcase-sized satellites to monitor wildfires, becoming the first nation to integrate such a satellite array into its national firefighting system. The satellites, built by OroraTech, use thermal sensors and AI to detect small fires and prioritize responses during heatwaves.
