MethaneSAT Now in Orbit after SpaceX Launches Groundbreaking Mission to Protect the Climate
Just after 4:00pm Pacific Time today MethaneSAT effectively detached from SpaceX Transporter-10 that carried the emissions monitor into space.
- The satellite will provide comprehensive data on global methane pollution, enabling companies and regulators to track emissions in real-time and compare results against emission goals.
- MethaneSAT’s high resolution and wide field of view will offer unprecedented transparency for the industry, allowing anyone to access interactive emissions data through MethaneSAT.org and Google Earth Engine.
