加州首批三颗FireSat野火探测卫星发射升空，2030年前建成50多颗星座
加州州长办公室2026年7月7日宣布，加州与全球非营利联盟 Earth Fire Alliance（EFA）合作的首批三颗 FireSat 野火探测卫星，当日从位于加州圣巴巴拉县的范登堡太空军基地发射升空。州长纽森称，这是全球首个专为探测野火设计的卫星系统。
三颗卫星由加州航天器制造商 Muon Space 建造，发射后将先进行三个月调试校准，数月内开始回传野火数据。按计划，2030年前将建成50多颗卫星组成的星座，每20分钟覆盖全球一次，能探测到小至校园规模的火点。CAL FIRE 在 EFA 成立之前就参与了 FireSat 的早期测试与概念评估。
州长办公室同时介绍，加州已部署超级智能野火探测系统、超过1,000台高清摄像头的 ALERTCalifornia 网络、无人机与实时火情建模等工具；加州消防预算已从20亿美元增至38亿美元，并投入超过25亿美元于野火韧性与森林健康项目。

California Launches First Three FireSat Wildfire-Detection Satellites, With 50-Plus Planned by 2030
The Office of Governor Gavin Newsom announced on July 7, 2026, that the first three FireSat wildfire-detection satellites, a partnership between California and the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance (EFA), had launched that day from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California. The governor's office described FireSat as the first satellite system specifically designed to detect wildfires.
The three satellites, built by California-based spacecraft manufacturer Muon Space, will undergo a three-month commissioning and calibration period before beginning operational data delivery within months. The full constellation of more than 50 satellites, planned by 2030, will cover the entire planet every 20 minutes and be able to catch fires as small as a schoolyard. CAL FIRE played a foundational role in FireSat's development, conducting early testing and concept evaluation before EFA formally existed.
The governor's office also noted that California has deployed SI-powered wildfire detection, the ALERTCalifornia network of more than 1,000 high-definition cameras, drones and real-time fire modeling, and has nearly doubled its fire protection budget from $2 billion to $3.8 billion, alongside more than $2.5 billion in wildfire resilience and forest health projects.
