FIRESAT IS A CONSTELLATION OF PLATFORM-INDEPENDENT SATELLITE-INSTALLED SENSORS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE NEAR REAL-TIME DETECTION OF SPECTRALLY DISCERNIBLE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL EVENTS.

FIRESAT WILL DELIVER ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT INFORMATION WITHIN ~15 MINUTES2 OF OCCURRENCE, PROVIDING END USERS WITH SIMPLIFIED AND ACTIONABLE DATA PERTINENT TO WILDFIRES, OIL SPILLS, CLOUDS, WATER MANAGEMENT, SOIL COMPOSITION, VEGETATION MAPPING, FLOOD PREDICTION, ERUPTIONS, EMISSIONS, FLARING, AND MANY OTHER INDUSTRIAL RISK AND ENVIRONMENTAL DETECTIONS1.

FIRESAT’S DATA WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE SUPPORT FOR TIME-CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE DECISIONS (THE STATUS QUO FOR SATELLITE DATA UPDATES IS CURRENTLY BETWEEN 4 AND 12 HOURS), INFORM INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE BEHAVIOURS, AND ENHANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

WITH DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FROM A RANGE OF HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS, FIRESAT’S LOW-MASS, LOW-POWER, LOW-BANDWIDTH SENSORS ARE DESIGNED SUCH THAT JUST ABOUT ANY SMALL SATELLITE WITH MODEST EXCESS MASS CAPABILITY IN LOW EARTH ORBIT CAN HOST THEM WITH MINIMAL IMPACT.

OPTIMISED FIRESAT SENSORS MEASURE ~10 x 10 x 20 CM, WEIGH ~2 KG, REQUIRE AN AVERAGE OF 2.5 WATTS OF POWER, AND HAVE MAXIMUM DATA RELAYS OF 100 KILOBITS PER SECOND (10 KBPS ON AVERAGE). ENCRYPTED DATA IS ALGORITHM-PROCESSED ONBOARD AND ON-GROUND AND RELAYED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ENHANCED DATA SUBSCRIPTIONS TO AGENCIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INSTITUTIONS ARE TARGETED AT ~$2 PER IMAGE3.

SATELLITE OPERATORS AGREEING TO FIRESAT’S DATA-DISTRIBUTION AND REVENUE-SHARING TERMS WILL BE GRANTED AS MANY SENSORS AS THEY WANT TO PUT ON THEIR SATELLITES. SENSORS ARE DESIGNED TO 3-YEAR RADIATION TOLERANCES AND CAN BE CUSTOMIZED TO HOST REQUIREMENTS.

FIRESAT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE A HIGHLY COVETED GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL DATASET AND WILL PROTECT AGAINST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL LOSSES TO ENVIRONMENTAL EVENTS IMPACTING HABITATS, INFRASTRUCTURE, LIVES, AND LIVELIHOODS ON A GLOBAL SCALE.

PLANNING FOR FIRESAT IS DEVELOPED BY QUADRA PI R2E WITH SUPPORT VIA SPACE ACT AGREEMENT FROM NASA’S JET PROPULSION LABORATORY.

1. INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE SENSING OF EMISSIONS, SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION, HYDROLOGY, AND VEGETATION ARE ONGOING.2. ON THE BASIS OF A 60 SENSOR CONSTELLATION.3. ALL FINANCIAL VALUES ARE STATED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

1 IN 5 WILDFIRES ARE INTENTIONALLY SET

FIRE SUPPRESSION COSTS HAVE INCREASED NEARLY FOURFOLD SINCE 1985 (~$4 BILLION IN 2015 IN CANADA + USA)

TOTAL WILDFIRE COSTS CAN RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 30 TIMES THE DIRECT SUPPRESSION COSTS

THE ANNUAL NUMBER OF LARGE WILDFIRES HAS INCREASED BY MORE THAN 75 PERCENT SINCE THE 1970’S

WILDFIRES ARE PROJECTED TO WORSEN OVER TIME AS RISING TEMPERATURES AND DROUGHTS LEAD TO MORE FREQUENT, LARGE, AND SEVERE WILDFIRES AND LONGER FIRE SEASONS

UNDER A MINIMUM 60-SENSOR CONFIGURATION, QUADRA ANTICIPATES A GLOBAL REVISITATION LATENCY OF ~15 MINUTES. QUADRA IS CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF AN ADDITIONAL 50 HOSTING OPPORTUNITIES, FURTHER REDUCING GLOBAL HYPERSPECTRAL EVENT DETECTION LATENCY.

THE MINIMUM CAPEX REQUIREMENT OF PHASE 1 THE 60-SENSOR CONSTELLATION IS US $2M (20 UNITS OF V1 OPTION). A NOT-TO-EXCEED TURN-KEY CONTRACT HAS BEEN EXECUTED WITH BEYOND SENSORS, LLC TO CONSTRUCT THE SENSORS (BEYOND SENSORS IS PART-OWNED BY ECLIPTIC ENTERPRISES CORPORATION). QUADRA HAS ALSO EXECUTED AN MOU WITH TECHNOSYLVA INC.
