Muon Space unveiled inaugural imagery from its FireSat Protoflight satellite, demonstrating advanced thermal sensing capabilities. The satellite carries a six-channel multispectral infrared instrument developed in-house by Muon.
First light images showcase thermal anomalies across multiple wavelengths, including Sydney’s urban heat signatures, Kīlauea volcano’s lava fountains in Hawaii, and gas flares at Libya’s Sarir oil field.
The full 50+ satellite constellation targets global wildfire monitoring with 20-minute revisit rates, with three additional FireSat satellites planned for 2026 and complete constellation deployment targeted for 2030.
