<h1>Our mission</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
In the vast realm of space exploration, we have chosen a mission that holds immense significance for both human
|
|||
|
|
safety and environmental preservation. Our goal is to develop a CanSat that can effectively identify and classify
|
|||
|
|
potential forest fires, aiding firefighters and environmental professionals in their crucial work. Additionally, we
|
|||
|
|
aim to report any illegal fireplaces we come across, promoting the protection of our natural surroundings.

<h1>Achieving the mission</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Detecting potential or existing forest fires is no easy task for a machine. To make this possible, we make use of a
|
|||
|
|
thermal imaging sensor combined with a visible light sensor (also called a camera) to gather information about
|
|||
|
|
what’s happening on the ground. We then process this information and add location data to see where the fire is
|
|||
|
|
exactly. Additionally, we make use of the onboard temperature and humidity sensors to calculate the potential risk
|
|||
|
|
of fire even before it happens.

<h1>The impact</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
While we may not detect any fires at the day of the competition (we hope we won’t), we aim to develop a technology
|
|||
|
|
that will allow for inexpensive surveillance and data gathering across wide regions of forests. When not inside of a
|
|||
|
|
CanSat but mounted on a drone for example, data used from the satellite could be used for identifying and locating
|
|||
|
|
anything from illegal fireplaces to large-scale forest fires. We believe that our technology can be used all around
|
|||
|
|
the world to aid firefighters in the mission of protecting our environment from the dangers of fire.
