FireSat Satellite Enhances Wildfire Detection from Space

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.
