Satellite tech boosts wildfire detection by increasing scanning frequency A new satellite sensing approach is set to detect wildfires earlier by increasing scanning frequency over fire-prone regions. The earlier alerts aim to give communities more time to respond, improving situational awareness and enabling faster coordination of suppression and evacuation actions.
