Fyto has a number of existing technological innovations which rely heavily on external satellite data and these satellites are very out of date in terms of their detection capabilities. Fyto would like to design a low-cost satellite that will continually monitor the earth for markers and wildfire risk.

The goal of this project is to design and build a satellite that can scan the Earth for wildfires. The satellite will be equipped with various sensors, including infrared cameras and thermal imaging sensors, to detect and locate active wildfires. It will also have the ability to transmit real-time data and images to ground stations.

The satellite will be placed in a low Earth orbit, allowing it to cover a large area of the Earth's surface

Ideal outcomes:

1. A preliminary design/capabilities document for a v.1 wildfire monitoring and prediction satellite.
2. High-resolution imaging capability that can detect and track the progression of wildfires
3. Infrared sensors that can detect the heat generated by a wildfire, even during the night or in areas with heavy smoke
4. Real-time data transmission that allows emergency responders to respond more quickly and effectively to the wildfire
5. Machine learning algorithms that can analyze the data collected by the imaging and infrared sensors and make predictions about the spread and behavior of the wildfire
6. Cloud-penetrating algorithms that can process the data collected by the SAR and LIDAR sensors and generate high-resolution images of the ground surface, even through thick clouds
