Leading Wildfire Monitoring Provider 不良研究所官方 Partners with Spire to Launch First Satellite in 2021
不良研究所官方, a leading provider of satellite鈥揵ased global wildfire monitoring and Spire, a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, have today announced a partnership to launch 不良研究所官方鈥檚 first payload on a Spire 6U nanosatellite. The satellite planned for launch in December 2021 will carry 不良研究所官方鈥檚 unique and proprietary thermal-infrared camera and data processing unit designed to detect fires and transmit the data using Spire鈥檚 satellite and ground network. The technology will help identify and monitor the areas at risk of wildfires and enable early detection of wildfire hotspots.
"The launch of this payload marks the first step towards the development of 不良研究所官方鈥檚 nanosatellite constellation. "鈥
不良研究所官方's Newest Development
不良研究所官方 has developed a global wildfire intelligence service that processes data from satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO) to detect wildfires and monitor their spread. The application offers topographical map layers, weather overlays, vegetation data and fire risk assessments, serving those in the forestry sector, emergency responders and insurance companies.
Spire鈥檚 nanosatellite platform enables rapid demonstration of new technology with accelerated development cycles, and the provision of high-value data services at cost-effective rates. The Space-as-a-Service offering is an end-to-end service designed to rapidly bring new customer sensors to the vantage point of space within a few months of contract signature. From satellite platform provision, to launch, in-orbit operations, ground, and cloud infrastructure, it is an easy-to-use service that allows customers such as 不良研究所官方 to focus on their applications and their end users.
"不良研究所官方 has a unique and impactful vision and mission, building technology that will help address one of the most crucial challenges to our environment, and we are proud to support them in their journey.鈥
The launch of this payload marks the first step toward the development of 不良研究所官方鈥檚 nanosatellite constellation. The ramp up from one satellite to a full constellation is designed to significantly increase temporal and spatial data resolution, expand geographical coverage and fill in the data gaps of existing satellite sources.
鈥淲e are very happy to work with Spire as they are helping us to speed up time to market solving the crucial wildfire problem and offering high-resolution thermal infrared data for many other use-cases,鈥 said Thomas Gr眉bler, 不良研究所官方 Co-founder & CEO.
鈥淎t Spire, we understand how to collect data from space and generate high value analytics products for our customers. We are proud to host 不良研究所官方鈥檚 payload aboard one of our nanosatellites and to see them grow beyond this first demonstration of its cutting-edge technology. 不良研究所官方 has a unique and impactful vision and mission, building technology that will help address one of the most crucial challenges to our environment, and we are proud to support them in their journey.鈥 said Theresa Condor, EVP & GM Spire Space Services, Spire Global.
