3 articles · Updated · The Keyword | Google Product and Technology News · Aug 4

Three new FireSat satellites launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, adding fresh orbital coverage to a wildfire-monitoring network led by the Earth Fire Alliance and Google Research.
The expansion is aimed at spotting fires before they spread, strengthening a global early-detection system built to improve disaster response.
The satellite launch was one of Google’s July 2026 AI updates, which the company framed as applying AI to crisis resilience and natural-hazard warning systems.
That broader push also included work with partners such as NOAA and support for UN-backed efforts to use AI in multi-hazard early warning for communities worldwide.
