OroraTech Wildfire Solution

OroraTech is a space technology company with entities in Germany, the USA, Canada and Latin America that builds a wildfire management platform on top of its own thermal satellite constellation. Its sensors detect heat rather than visible light, so fires can be seen day or night and through smoke; the company reports 800+ users in 25 countries, 170+ employees and 500 million hectares monitored.

The Wildfire Solution fuses data from more than 35 thermal satellite and ground sources, including the company's own FOREST satellites in low Earth orbit, to detect new fires as small as about 10 by 10 metres and send alerts within minutes by email, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram or in-app notification. Add-on modules cover Fire Spread prediction, Burnt Area severity mapping, global Land Surface Temperature and a pilot Short-Term Fire Hazard forecast. Data is available in a web platform and through an API for forestry companies, plantations, fire services and governments.

• Wildfire detection: thermal hotspots from 35+ satellite and ground sources, as small as about 10 by 10 metres.
• Multi-channel alerts: email, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and in-app notifications for monitored areas.
• Fire Spread: near-real-time fire movement predictions.
• Burnt Area: burn severity assessment from high-resolution satellite data.
• Land Surface Temperature: global thermal monitoring layers.
• API access: integrates fire data into existing GIS and operational platforms.

• Forest management boards and forestry companies in the Central Highlands and North Central regions monitoring dry-season fires.
• Rubber, acacia and pulpwood plantations protecting assets and documenting fire-free operations for export buyers.
• Melaleuca and peatland managers in the Mekong Delta, such as U Minh, receiving rapid hotspot alerts.

• Early detection of small fires within minutes, day or night and through smoke, before they spread.
• Updates multiple times per hour from a dedicated thermal constellation combined with public satellites.
• Alerts through common channels such as SMS, WhatsApp and email reach field teams without new hardware.
• Burn severity and spread modules support response planning, damage assessment and reporting.

Longer dry seasons are raising wildfire and peat-fire risk across Southeast Asia, and plantations and forest owners face growing pressure from buyers and deforestation regulations to prove they manage fire. Thermal constellations now offer frequent, affordable monitoring, and the company already works through local partners in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Operates its own FOREST thermal satellites; FOREST-20 launched in October 2026. Partners with ICEYE (2026); local partners include Widjaya Global Services (Indonesia), Enviro Land Services (Malaysia) and GeoSatPlus (Thailand).
