Disaster monitoring services will benefit substantially of the significant advantages of the GeoOculus<br />

mission in terms of acquisition delay, observation cycle and timeliness, all of which in the range of an<br />

hour or less.<br />

Fire Monitoring Service - Primary Objective<br />

The fire monitoring service is an on occasion service that becomes active once a fire in the service<br />

region is present, which has been detected and reported by other means. Therefore it is the objective<br />

of the fire monitoring service is to provide timely fire observations on demand of fire fighting and<br />

mitigation organisations. The data products shall provide accurate information on fire location, extend,<br />

temperature and development over time to allow for optimized planning of mitigation efforts.<br />

This requires a very agile and responsive overall system to assure acquisition delays and observation<br />

cycles (revisit time) shorter than about 10 min and data delivery after acquisition in less than about<br />
