AI overview

Google AI said FireSat’s first operational satellites are already in space, using custom cameras and AI to detect wildfires as small as 5 × 5 meters. The constellation is an Earth Fire Alliance project in partnership with Google Research and Muon Space. According to Google AI, the system’s AI was trained using controlled burns, and tracking changes over time helps distinguish fires from misleading signals. By 2030, a constellation of roughly 50 satellites could image Earth’s surface every 20 minutes.
