New Satellite Tanager-1 Launched to Pinpoint Methane Super Emitters

Tanager-1, developed by Carbon Mapper Coalition, will provide precise data on greenhouse gas emissions to aid global climate efforts.

Tanager-1 can detect methane and carbon dioxide emissions from individual facilities globally.
The satellite uses advanced imaging spectrometer technology developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Data collected will be publicly available, helping regulators and companies address emission sources.
The mission is part of a broader effort to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
Tanager-1's capabilities complement those of MethaneSAT, providing detailed insights into emission sources.
