Greece has launched four cutting-edge nanosatellites into low Earth orbit that can detect wildfires when they are just 13 feet wide, a massive improvement over conventional satellites. This advanced early-detection technology, with each device smaller than a carry-on bag, will allow emergency services to respond to outbreaks before they can spread.
