The Mission
Munich-based OroraTech is developing a constellation of nanosatellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection, infrastructure monitoring and many other applications.
Our all-in-one wildfire solution is designed to quickly detect thermal hotspots on a global scale. It provides reliable data fused from multiple satellite sources and wildfire detection algorithms. By providing monitoring and notification services for areas at risk, we help both public and private sector customers to protect forests and biodiversity.
With our own satellite constellation (OTC-P1 launched in March) we aim to expand our Core Application Team responsible for developing and maintaining the data platform. By joining us you’ll have a direct impact on our users who are fighting climate change every day.
