Greece launches nanosatellite system to catch wildfires early
BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Conventional satellites can’t detect a wildfire until it’s roughly the size of a cruise ship. Greece just launched four that catch them when they’re four meters (about 13 feet) across. The four OroraTech nanosatellites, each smaller than a carry-on bag, went into low Earth orbit in May. Greece is the first country to deploy a satellite constellation built specifically for wildfire response. Updates come every hour with no gaps. How it works Each satellite cap
