OroraTech
Overview
Sells a wildfire detection, monitoring and prediction SaaS built on its own thermal-infrared cubesat constellation plus third-party hosted sensors, to governments, utilities and forestry operators — and now sells turnkey national constellations.
Moat: The largest dedicated commercial thermal-infrared wildfire constellation, with a miniaturized SAFIRE payload small enough to sell as a hosted payload on other operators' satellites (e.g. Kepler) — growing coverage without funding every spacecraft itself.
Business

Near-term Catalysts
- 2026-2027
Replicating the Greek national model with a second sovereign customer
Would prove the national-constellation template beyond a single customer.
- 2026-2027
Kepler network scale-up
Each new Kepler satellite carrying SAFIRE Gen4 adds OroraTech coverage at near-zero spacecraft capex.
Top Risks
- Google/Muon Space's FireSat and NOAA programs are direct, better-funded competitors in the same niche.
- Revenue concentration in public-sector budgets, with the Greece contract a large share of the book.
- Cubesat-class thermal sensors trade sensitivity and resolution against larger platforms — a technical ceiling if customers move upmarket.
