First three operational FireSat satellites launched
57 FOMOThe three Condor-M satellites carrying FireSat’s six-channel multispectral infrared payload launched on Transporter-17 and established contact within 120 minutes. They transition the constellation from the March 2025 Protoflight demonstration to operational twice-daily revisit over fire-prone regions, with a path to hourly global coverage by 2029.
Why it matters
