## Editorial
ORCA Fused Optical & Thermal is an airborne data product from SkyfloX that combines simultaneous optical and thermal observations collected by the ORCA aircraft payload. Thermal ortho imagery is co-registered and draped onto optical ortho imagery, giving users a single spatially consistent layer that carries both spectral reflectance and surface-temperature information. The product is delivered as a georeferenced orthoimage ready for downstream analysis. The ESA DOCS-2 commercialisation project describes the Block I payload as capable of producing fused outputs at approximately 3-metre class ground sampling distance, though SkyfloX does not publish a formal GSD specification on its product page.[^docs-2-esa] The specific spectral bands of the optical channel and the thermal sensor model have not been publicly disclosed; COTS equipment is indicated.[^docs-2-esa] Intended applications include land surface temperature retrieval, multi-sensor data fusion workflows, infrastructure thermal assessment, and urban heat mapping.[^skyflox-products][^docs-esa]
