A few days ago we posted about our LWIR imaging mission above the Palisades Fire. During that mission (Sun, Jan 19,) we also deployed a 10cm high-res aerial imagery sensor. That data is now processed and freely available within the link below: .

We conducted a stratospheric infrared imaging mission above the Palisades Fire on Sunday. An overview map of the 3m LWIR data is pictured below. Please help us get this into the hands of those that can use it. Free access to the data can be found here:

Giant balloons floating above Colorado’s wildfires could help to predict future blazes @cnni @CNN @nellylew @ChapmanU @NASAESTO @NASAJPL .

US startup Urban Sky is launching balloons into the stratosphere to test the technology as an inexpensive way to detect, track, and ultimately prevent the spread of wildfires.

The small white dot shows the locale of our Microballoon. The white “rectangle” shows one image frame projected onto the Earth. And the remaining “circles” show the thousands of image frames captured while hovering above the fire.

This photo illustrates the power of the stratosphere for persistent, continuous, real-time monitoring. It shows our Microballoon hovering above a wildfire for hours and continuously scanning (i.e. the thousands of visible image frames shown) above our target area.

We now have the highest res, most recent map of the Alexander MTN fire in Colorado. We flew our stratospheric system above this ~9,000 acre fire yesterday and processed the data in <8 hours.

Great article by @NASAspinoff!. “Ballooning Business for Shrinking Cameras: NASA-funded miniaturized technology offers better imagery than a satellite”.

Happy to provide context on this as we learn more. We are HQ’d in Colorado but can confirm this is not one of our systems. Our #stratosphericballoons fly in full compliance with US regulations and are known to airspace authorities when operating.
