Satellites launched to detect bushfires from space | 7NEWS
Three FireSat satellites have been launched into space aboard a SpaceX rocket to detect bushfires from orbit as part of the Earth Fire Alliance constellation. The satellites, backed by Jeff Bezos and Google, can spot fires as small as five metres wide from 600 kilometres above Earth and see through smoke using multiple wavelengths. The system aims to eventually deploy 50 satellites that will capture images of every point on Earth every 20 minutes, with the first images already detecting planned burn-offs in Dubbo.
