Thermal satellite data for a resilient world

Unlock powerful insights into hidden heat patterns, detect environmental stress early, and take smarter, faster action – for healthier forests, resilient crops, cooler cities, and more sustainable industries.

Why we need to act now

Make better decisions with reliable insights

As climate change accelerates, early detection of environmental stress is more critical than ever. Thermal satellite data empowers action before damage occurs – protecting crops from drought, reducing urban heat, and improving industrial efficiency. 

Early warning = Timely action

Detect temperature anomalies before visible symptoms appear – enabling faster decisions, damage prevention, and reduced response costs.

Make the invisible visible

See surface heat patterns invisible in traditional imagery. Detect hidden stress from drought, overheating, or infrastructure inefficiencies.

Scalable, reliable, and objective

Thermal data from space delivers large-scale, consistent, and unbiased insights – empowering climate-smart decisions across sectors.

Use cases

Thermal intelligence for every climate challenge

From agriculture to urban resilience, thermal satellite data helps tackle diverse challenges with precision. Explore how OroraTech supports smarter decisions across sectors.

Agriculture

Boost crop resilience with early stress detection

  • Act faster than vegetation indices
    Detect crop stress and recovery earlier – before it shows in NDVI – enabling proactive decisions.
  • Optimize irrigation and water use
    Identify over- or under-irrigated zones, improving yield while reducing water and energy waste.
  • Improve forecasting and yield models
    Enhance the accuracy of crop performance predictions by factoring in heat stress, microclimates, and thermal growth trends.

 

Forest health

Protect forests before the damage is visible

  • Detect stress before visual decline
    Identify heat buildup from water stress, fragmentation, or disease – improving early warning systems.
  • Monitor microclimates at scale
    Track stand-level thermal conditions, forest-edge heat islands, and restoration cooling trends to support forest planning.
  • Support valuation and carbon assessments
    Use temperature patterns to assess canopy health and identify underperforming carbon sinks – enhancing carbon monitoring and climate finance efforts.

 

Urban heat

Design cooler, healthier cities with thermal intelligence

  • Identify and monitor urban heat
    Detect heat-retaining areas and reveal citywide temperature patterns to prioritize interventions and reduce exposure to extreme heat.
  • Guide planning and resilience strategies
    Use thermal data to support tree planting, green roofs, and reflective surfaces – while measuring the impact of climate adaptation efforts over time.
  • Support early warnings and equitable action
    Strengthen heat risk forecasts and highlight the most affected neighborhoods to ensure fairer resource allocation and better protection for vulnerable communities.

 

Industry monitoring

Track global industry activity with thermal precision

  • Monitor operational status remotely
    Detect if key facilities are active or idle – enabling strategic oversight of suppliers, competitors, or critical infrastructure worldwide.
  • Estimate production capacity over time
    Track heat intensity at industrial sites to assess output levels and forecast movements in supply chains or commodity flows.
  • Reveal economic activity trends by region
    Compare thermal patterns across industrial zones to detect slowdowns, recovery, or macro shifts – supporting better forecasting and investment decisions.

 

Maritime solutions

Strengthen maritime decisions with thermal insights

  • Optimize vessel routing and reduce costs
    Identify ocean currents and temperature zones that affect fuel efficiency, enabling smarter navigation and lower operational impact.
  • Protect ecosystems and manage fish stocks
    Detect sudden ocean temperature changes to forecast harmful algal blooms and support sustainable fisheries.
  • Support aquaculture and climate resilience
    Monitor marine conditions to support fish farming and enhance long-term resilience through better weather and ocean forecasts.

 

Land Surface Temperature

Detect and understand surface heat – before it becomes a problem

Land Surface Temperature offers high-resolution, continuous thermal monitoring of land environments. It supports earlier interventions, smarter resource use, and better decision-making across key climate-sensitive sectors.

Detect early thermal stress in crops

Monitor evapotranspiration changes and surface heat anomalies to flag water stress or suboptimal growing conditions before yield is impacted.

Reveal signs of forest degradation

Track canopy and soil temperature shifts that indicate stress from drought, thinning, or disease – well before visible symptoms emerge.

Map urban heat dynamics with precision

Continuously monitor surface temperature at the neighborhood scale to identify critical hotspots and evaluate the impact of cooling interventions.

Monitor industrial activity from space

Observe operational heat signatures over time to determine production status, track infrastructure use, and compare activity across regions.

Sea Surface Temperature

Thermal intelligence to support safer, smarter maritime operations

Coming soon: Sea Surface Temperature (SST) delivers daily thermal monitoring of marine environments, helping maritime stakeholders detect ecological change, optimize logistics, and support climate adaptation in oceans and along coasts.

Support fuel-efficient navigation

Identify thermal ocean patterns and current zones that influence vessel speed, fuel use, and route optimization.

Anticipate ecological stress event

Detect sharp temperature anomalies that can indicate harmful algal blooms or broader ecosystem disruption.

Stabilize aquaculture operations

Ensure species-specific thermal conditions are maintained by monitoring temperature-sensitive fish farming zones.

Improve climate models and coastal planning

Feed high-quality SST data into forecast systems to track monsoons, storms, and long-term ocean variability.
