"Fires are often spotted by people or planes first, rather than satellites. Existing satellites that gather data on wildfires might only come by a few times a day or can detect blazes only once they've reached a certain size."
"There is a significant gap between the data we have available today and what we could have with better satellite coverage. So that's why Google Research, we teamed up with a bunch of folks, scientists, and leaders in the fire community to develop a new satellite constellation."
