OroraTech is a thermal data intelligence company headquartered in Munich, Germany, with the mission to create truth for a net-zero economy and protect our environment. Their leading Wildfire Solution is used by clients all over the globe, monitoring more than 160 million ha of forest. The service will be complemented by multipurpose thermal-infrared sensing nanosatellites with in-space artificial intelligence to improve real-time response and to improve continuous coverage. The first of its kind satellite was successfully launched in January 2022 and will be expanded to a fleet of 100 satellites over the following years. Founded in 2018, the company has grown to an international team of over 80 employees supported by private and institutional investors, the European Space Agency, and the governments of Germany and Bavaria.
