1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:01,643
This is real-time data
2
00:00:01,643 --> 00:00:02,769
from a wildfire.
3
00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:03,570
The image you're seeing
4
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:03,876
is from
5
00:00:03,876 --> 00:00:05,905
NASA, JPL’s AVIRIS-3.
6
00:00:05,905 --> 00:00:07,307
A high-tech airborne sensor
7
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:07,874
that doesn't
8
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:09,376
just take pictures.
9
00:00:09,376 --> 00:00:10,627
It captures hundreds of
10
00:00:10,627 --> 00:00:11,511
wavelengths of light,
11
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:12,379
giving scientists
12
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:13,480
a full spectral view
13
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,314
of what's happening
14
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:15,411
on the ground.
15
00:00:15,411 --> 00:00:16,016
When the aircraft
16
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,250
is flying over fire,
17
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:18,418
it can deliver new data,
18
00:00:18,418 --> 00:00:19,319
pinpointing exactly
19
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,286
where the fire is
20
00:00:20,286 --> 00:00:21,488
and how it's moving.
21
00:00:21,488 --> 00:00:22,255
That data gets
22
00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:23,289
the crews on the ground
23
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:24,357
almost instantly
24
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,525
guiding their decisions
25
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:26,059
and helping
26
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:26,860
protect people,
27
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:27,527
property
28
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:29,396
and ecosystems.
29
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:30,864
Satellites offer long-term
30
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:31,664
monitoring with
31
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:33,131
fixed overpass times,
32
00:00:33,131 --> 00:00:34,501
while aircraft complement
33
00:00:34,501 --> 00:00:35,435
this by providing
34
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:36,469
flexible scheduling
35
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:37,437
and higher spatial
36
00:00:37,437 --> 00:00:38,271
resolution data
37
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:39,873
for observing fire.
38
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,508
This is NASA FireSense,
39
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:43,252
and it's changing how we view
40
00:00:43,252 --> 00:00:44,611
proactive wildland fire
41
00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:45,211
management.
