Greece has become the first nation to integrate a dedicated satellite constellation into its national firefighting system, utilizing four small satellites launched in May. Built by OroraTech, these satellites employ thermal sensors and AI to detect fires as small as four meters wide, providing crucial real-time data for prioritizing responses. The system is designed to filter out false alarms and adapt to changing fire behaviors due to rising global temperatures, forming part of a larger, EU-funded European observation network. AI
