Fire Information For Resource Management System
Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) is a free web mapping platform offered by NASA as part of its ''Earth Science Data Systems'' (ESDS) Program. It displays active fire locations in near real-time overlaid on a map. While created to monitor wildfires, it has also been used to report on fires due to military conflicts such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Tigray war. Specifications Satellites The data is collected via satellites in sun-synchronous orbit, making each satellite pass over the same location on Earth on the same time every day. Each satellite crosses equator from North to South twelve times a day thus also from South to North twelve times a day.

NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA ) is an independent agency of the US federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research. NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), to give the U.S. space development effort a distinctly civilian orientation, emphasizing peaceful applications in space science. NASA has since led most American space exploration, including Project Mercury, Project Gemini, the 1968-1972 Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle. NASA supports the International Space Station and oversees the development of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System for the crewed lunar Artemis program, Commercial Crew spacecraft, and the planned Lunar Gateway space station. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program, which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown m ...
