Greece Uses Dedicated Satellite Network to Detect and Manage Wildfires
Greece has deployed a constellation of four suitcase-sized satellites developed by German company OroraTech to detect wildfires rapidly. These satellites can identify fires as small as four meters wide and use artificial intelligence to send real-time alerts with location, size, and intensity to firefighting commanders. This system helps prioritize resources efficiently during multiple simultaneous fires, aiming to improve early response amid Greece's frequent and severe wildfire challenges.
