"Today's announcement marks a significant milestone and step towards transforming the way we interact with fire. As fires become more intense, and spread faster, we believe radical collaboration is key to driving much needed innovation in fire management and climate action."
"The FireSat satellites will be built by Muon Space, a California-based satellite manufacturing startup. Each microsatellite will have six-band multispectral infrared instruments, eyeing a swath of Earth about 900 miles wide, to pinpoint hotspots from wildfires."
