OroraTech operates a software platform for the detection and monitoring of wildfires based on measuring thermal-[[infrared]] radiation from space. The company is using data from existing satellites and develops their own constellation of 3-U CubeSats with thermal-infrared cameras to further improve temporal and spatial resolution of fire detection.
Wildfire detection using infrared sensors in space had been proposed as a technology since the 1990s.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Thomas |first1=Paul J. |last2=Hersom |first2=Charles H. |date=1995-09-29 |title=Space-based forest fire detection concept |url=https://doi.org/10.1117/12.221349 |journal=Proc.

OroraTech is a German aerospace start-up company providing wildfire monitoring by employing nanosatellites. It was founded in 2018 as a university spin-off at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The headquarters are in Munich, Germany.[1]

Early rendering of the Bus of the Cubesat MOVE-II

History

OroraTech's key idea had been developed during the MOVE-II CubeSat project and WARR at the TUM. Starting as a spin-off in January 2017, the company was incorporated as Orbital Oracle Technologies GmbH (short: OroraTech) in September 2018.[2] Since OroraTech's technology is based on academic research at the TUM, TUM professors Ulrich Walter, a former astronaut, and Alexander W. Koch act as advisors to the company.[3]

Technology

Wildfire detection using infrared sensors in space had been proposed as a technology since the 1990s.[4][5] Technological advances, notably sunk space launch cost, enabled non-state actors to enter the market. As such, OroraTech operates a software platform for the detection and monitoring of wildfires based on measuring thermal-infrared radiation from space. The company is using data from existing satellites and develops their own constellation of 3-U CubeSats with thermal-infrared cameras to further improve temporal and spatial resolution of fire detection.

The software platform generates various overlays on base maps to visualize fire risk and fire detections. At the current stage, the platform uses data from twelve satellites in polar and geostationary orbits, including such by NASA, ESA, and EUMETSAT.[6] In early 2020, the platform had around 100 active users.[7]

The satellite technology is based on research from the MOVE-II project at the Chair of Astronautics (LRT) at the TUM. During the project, a 1-Unit CubeSat was launched with SpaceX in December 2018.[8] OroraTech's nanosatellite, based on the original CubeSat, is being developed to reach 10 cm x 10 cm x 34 cm in size,[9] weighing around 1.2 kg,[10] and will be launched to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at a height of 600-700 km.[11] The satellite features an uncooled thermal-infrared imager for space applications,[12] and GPU-accelerated on-orbit processing to reduce downlink latency and bandwidth for quicker wildfire alert dissemination.[13]

Field application

The technology is used by Wildfire Services in British Columbia (Canada) and New South Wales (Australia) for wildfire detection and wildfire suppression.[14] International media used images from OroraTech's wildfire service for coverage of the 2020 wildfire season in California,[15] Oregon,[16] British Columbia,[17] and Siberia.[18]

Programs and Achievements

OroraTech has taken part in the following programs:

The company also achieved prizes at the European Student Challenge 2018 of House of Mentors[25] and the StartUp Night! of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi),[26] and the Samsung for Impact Challenge.[27]
