The satellite was launched in 2016 for agriculture and disaster monitoring purposes and is doing its job.<\/p>\n<p>On July 27, 2020, the municipalities of Ouled Rabah and Boussif Ouled Askeur of the wilaya of Jijel, and the municipalities of Amira Arres and Tessala Lemtai belonging to the wilaya of Mila, suffered series of forest fires which were captured by Alsat-1B. Since the satellite captured the incidents, the Algerian Space Agency has analyzed the Alsat-1B satellite imagery of July 30, 2020, covering the areas affected by forest fires.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11473 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alsat1-816x420-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alsat1-816x420-1.jpg 816w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alsat1-816x420-1-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alsat1-816x420-1-768x395.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The analysis produced from the image was useful in assessing the impact of the forest fires, which covered an estimated 144.559 ha, or 116.8 ha for the Wilaya of Jijel and 27.75 ha for the wilaya of Mila.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the satellite was useful in capturing another forest fire outbreak that occurred on July 29, 2020, in Tassadane Haddada and El Ayadi Barbes (Wilaya de Mila). The Algerian Space Agency exploited and analyzed the Alsat-1B satellite imagery of July 30, 2020, covering the affected areas by forest fires.

The\u00a0risk\u00a0of damages for villages, tourist centres, human activities, and even people, is extremely high, particularly in the summer when humans are more present in forest areas for recreation activities. In an\u00a0analysis\u00a0by a researcher on the Algerian forest fires, it was discovered that Algerian foresters are well aware of the importance of prevention, contrasting with current government policies that are predominantly oriented towards improving the technical extinction apparatus. The country\u2019s forestries agency said it had recorded 1,216 fires between June 1 and August 1, destroying some 8,778 hectares. Algerian President has since\u00a0ordered\u00a0for investigations into the new incidences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0Space in Africa &#8211;August 13, 2020 Algeria\u2019s AlSat-1B satellite has been useful in monitoring new forest fires across municipalities in Algeria.
