FUEGO’s scientific objective is to detect the very beginnings of wildfires, and to provide real-time information on a fire’s intensity, evolution and movement. The system is an imager operating in two IR bands (4 and 9 microns wavelength), with a visible context imager. For more, see the FUEGO website.
