OroraTech, and Spire Global have been selected by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to deliver preparatory work for implementation phases of a wildfire monitoring satellite. The contract is the initial step towards building CSA’s planned WildFireSat mission, which aims to monitor all active wildfires in Canada from space on a daily basis.

Dr. Axel Roenneke is joining OroraTech’s management team to lead the global expansion and implement growth plans across new markets.

OroraTech, the industry leader in space-based thermal-infrared data intelligence, is announcing a technological breakthrough in fire monitoring and detection. The new on-orbit fire processing technology is able to detect and send fire notification alarms to customers via the multi-satellite link within just three minutes once the satellite has passed the affected area.

OroraTech is the first commercial company to have a thermal-infrared camera in space. With the fresh funding, OroraTech will launch a second thermal-infrared camera to expand its climate solutions portfolio.

A NewSpace intelligence startup has completed a review in its European Space Agency (ESA) InCubed Programme to deliver the CubeSat FOREST-3. This is a major milestone toward building and launching a multipurpose nanosatellite constellation for 30 min revisit by 2026.

EarthRanger, a data visualization and analysis software used by governments, protected area managers, ecologists, and wildlife biologists across more than 250 sites and 50 countries in the world, has partnered up with NewSpace company OroraTech to offer its users a crucial wildfire detection and monitoring service from space.
