Carbon Mapper uses remote sensing to detect, quantify and pinpoint methane and carbon dioxide emissions around the world.

We make this emissions data publicly available to drive mitigation efforts.

Building the technology capable of detecting emissions from space is as complex as it is exciting. Integration between the methane-sensing instrument and satellite is an important step in Tanager-1’s journey to space. Pictured here, engineers carefully align the hyperspectral payload with the satellite bus.

Proud to collaborate with Planet, and our other coalition partners to pinpoint methane super-emitters from space. Driving local climate action, globally. 🛰️ 🔎

We were honored to join leaders from government, philanthropy, civil society and industry at the recent Super Pollutants Summit.

Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide during its time in the atmosphere. Cutting methane today is the fastest way to slow the rate of warming while we work to reduce CO2. The upcoming launch of the first Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite Tanager -1, with and , will help fill gaps and dramatically scale up the availability of public data at the granularity needed to accelerate emissions reductions globally.

We continue to work with partners, communities and policymakers to help translate data into meaningful insights and tools that help decision makers around the globe. 🌎

The Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite, Tanager-1, is at Vandenberg Space Force Base in preparation for launch. 🚀 But the satellite took a long journey just to get there.

The spacecraft underwent a series of rigorous tests to ensure the satellite can withstand the harsh vibrations of a rocket launch and function properly in space.

Check out these photos capturing a few steps of the testing and preparation process from our partners at . 🛰️
