OroraTech’s space-based wildfire detection brings in $25M to put more imaging satellites in orbit
Wildfires aren't going away, but our ability to detect and track them — and maybe catch them early enough to prevent serious damage — is getting better.
OroraTech is taking a space-based approach to “wildfire intelligence,” and just raised $25 million to grow its market and cover more of the Earth. OroraTech first used data from dozens of other imaging satellites and terrestrial sources, but now relies on its own and is planning on having an initial constellation of eight up and running by mid-2025. The cash infusion should let the company keep building out its sensor network and training up its predictive AI systems; expect to hear about their next satellite, FOREST-3, going up in early 2025.
