Paris, 9 September 2026 – Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 – Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) and Germany’s OroraTech, a leader in space-based thermal intelligence, announced a new partnership where OroraTech will reserve space aboard Eutelsat’s future OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to host 48 thermal infrared payloads, with options for an additional 48.
Supported by the French and German governments as part of the Franco-German cooperation in space and announced at the occasion of the International Space Summit in Paris, the partnership brings together Eutelsat’s satellite capabilities and OroraTech’s space-based thermal intelligence technology to strengthen wildfire monitoring from orbit.
Recent wildfires in France, Germany and elsewhere in Europe have underscored the importance of detecting fires as early as possible. This is particularly challenging in remote areas where fires may remain undetected by traditional monitoring systems. OroraTech detects and characterizes thermal anomalies from orbit and transforms them into actionable intelligence, enabling earlier detection and helping emergency services understand how wildfires will evolve over time.
Under the agreement, OroraTech is planning to deploy its thermal infrared payloads aboard future Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellites, enabling it to substantially expand its thermal monitoring network in the coming years. The expanded network will strengthen OroraTech's wildfire intelligence capabilities while also supporting additional applications including critical infrastructure, environmental monitoring and security
For Eutelsat, the partnership showcases a significant new use case for its future LEO satellites, extending the use of its infrastructur…
