The first satellite dedicated to wildfire detection made it into orbit on Spacex’ Transporter-13 mission on March 15, 2025:
"The first satellite for the FireSat constellation officially made contact with Earth. This satellite is the first of more than 50 in a first-of-its-kind constellation designed to use AI to detect and track wildfires as small as a classroom (roughly 5x5 meters). […]
FireSat is a collaboration between Google Research, Muon Space, Earth Fire Alliance, Moore Foundation, wildfire authorities and others. Funding for the constellation’s first satellites comes in part from Google.org, which has provided $13 million through the AI Collaborative: Wildfires, an initiative to harness AI’s potential in reducing the economic, humanitarian and environmental damages from catastrophic wildfires."
