We foster path-breaking scientific discovery, environmental conservation, and preservation of the special character of the Bay Area.
💧 With Moore Foundation support, Stanford U. researchers pioneered a method for imaging California’s groundwater based on surface, airborne and satellite measurements — prompting the state to invest more than $10M in mapping aquifers throughout the Central Valley.

What if every wildfire on Earth could be detected in real time? 🔥
🛰️ That’s the goal of FireSat, a constellation of multispectral infrared imaging satellites led by Earth Fire Alliance + Muon Space. FireSat launched its first satellite in March 2025 and plans to deploy another 50+ by 2030.
