The Mission
Munich-based OroraTech is developing a constellation of nano-satellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection, severe weather warnings and many other applications. After our FOREST-1 mission (launched in Jan. 2022) and FOREST-2 (launched in June 2023), the next step is to scale the production, launch the first constellation plane of 8 systems, launch our own first own satellite platform FOREST-3 in October and scale up satellite production for the next missions. We are looking for a mission analysis engineer to keep the checks and balances in power budget, orbital coverage, propulsion simulation and link, data and latency budget of our prototype and constellation projects.
