FireSat Protoflight Satellite to Scan Earth Every 20 Minutes for Early Wildfire Detection

Muon Space’s FireSat project will form a 50-satellite constellation that scans the planet every 20 minutes to detect wildfires using multi-band infrared imaging. The constellation aims to support first responders and policymakers with high-resolution thermal data, bridging a critical gap in satellite-based wildfire detection. Its first satellite launched in March and has begun delivering data.
