Rocket Lab is set to launch eight fire detection satellites for OroraTech on its Electron rocket.
OroraTech's mission, called 'Finding Hot Wildfires Near You', is the first phase of their plan to deploy up to 100 satellites by 2028.
The satellites will monitor wildfires from a circular Earth orbit at an altitude of 550 km and an inclination of 97 degrees, allowing continuous monitoring against wildfire threats.
OroraTech aims to provide near-real-time data on fire behavior and situational awareness to firefighters and emergency personnel.
