The Mission

Munich-based OroraTech is developing a constellation of nanosatellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection, infrastructure monitoring and many other applications. 

Our all-in-one wildfire solution is designed to quickly detect thermal hotspots on a global scale. It provides reliable data fused from multiple satellite sources and wildfire detection algorithms. By providing monitoring and notification services for areas at risk, we help both public and private sector customers to protect forests and biodiversity.
