FireSat
Project disclaimer
Description
"This FireSat pilot programme will demonstrate the ability of nanosatellite technology to deliver enhanced fire detection data to be implemented into the existing Advanced Fire Information System (AFIS) developed by the CSIR, as well as provide capa
Objectives
The AFIS ingests data from NASA and ESA satellites to detect possible hotspots on the ground. Geostationary platforms provide wide-scale observations on the order of 1-4 km every 15 minutes, while polar orbiting satellites can detect smaller fires, of the order of 30-200 m, every few days. The addition of data from the FireSat nanosatellite will offer complimentary capability to existing datasets to improve the observation of 90 m2 fire events.
