FireSat fire visualisation tools for satellite coverage
ExoAnalytic has been selected to provide software development and visualisation tools for the Earth Fire Alliance (EFA) FireSat programme.
The work includes containerised web applications to depict satellite orbits and the 1,500 km sensor swath coverage for the FireSat Earth observation constellation.
The software is set to include public-facing and secure interfaces.
Users are expected to be able to visualise real-time and upcoming satellite tracks, view observation footprints and explore areas of interest.
Scope of the FireSat programme and planned expansion
The Earth Fire Alliance is a global nonprofit coalition delivering data from wildfires via FireSat, an advanced multispectral satellite constellation built for the wildfire community.
Ben Lane, Vice President of Engineering at ExoAnalytic, said: “Our team excels at turning complex data into clear, interactive visualizations.
“These interfaces will help researchers, first responders and other FireSat users improve critical information-gathering and decision-making, ultimately protecting lives, communities, and ecosystems.”
The FireSat protoflight, built and operated by EFA founding technical partner Muon Space, launched in March 2025, and is already collecting data.
EFA is preparing to expand the constellation to Initial Operational Capability in 2026 with three additional spacecraft, yielding twice daily revisit for six of the world’s most fire-prone geographies.
The full constellation is expected to include up to 50 satellites by 2030, with a global revisit rate of 20 minutes or less.
Sean Triplett, Director of Data Integration and Operations at Earth Fire Alliance, said: “Earth Fire Alliance is committed to using space-based technology to drive long-term change and local action.
“Working with innovative organizations like ExoAnalytic helps us bring that vision to life through powerful visualization tools that make FireSat data accessible and actionable to any organization, regardless of their scale, geography, or resources.”
The partners described the tools as supporting both mission coverage demonstrations and user access to FireSat data.
