Abstract

The Technologie-Erprobungs-Träger-1 (Technology Experiments Carrier - TET-1) satellite, which launched on 22^nd July 2012, contains, as one of eleven experiments, an Infrared camera system designed for the detection of high temperature events (HTE), including wildfires, volcanos and other hotspots. Due to the number of experiments on the satellite, the available times for the capture of images have been limited. The images captured to date have undergone initial analysis, although further work is required for calibration, as well as the adaption of the hotspot detection and characterisation algorithm.
