Suitcase-sized satellites are scanning for Greek wildfires in a global first

▤ Summary

Greece has become the first country to fully integrate a dedicated satellite constellation into its national firefighting system. The new system uses suitcase-sized satellites with thermal sensors to detect small fires quickly and send AI-processed alerts with location, size, and intensity. Officials say the network improves wildfire response, supports broader European technological independence, and may later extend to border surveillance, crop monitoring, and disaster management. The program also includes additional satellite layers and EU-backed funding for expansion.
