After several seasons of deadly wildfires, NASA wants to put high-tech eyes in the sky to better track the way fires move.
Those sub-orbital assets include unmanned planes, used to carry firefighting gear to dangerous areas and drones that are capable of moving cameras and weather equipment into small dangerous places, without risking human lives.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
"And they use different technologies to identify wildfires with thermal imaging or infrared, or we use scientific payloads to track and monitor as well," said Zach Roberts, Aeronautics project chief. NASA said the aircraft will be used more than ever this summer, as climate change makes fire seasons less predictable, longer burning, and more dangerous than ever.
