Big News: Carbon Mapper's & Planet's Tanager-1 satellite detected its first methane emission event from space today, marking a major step-up of satellite's capabilities to see methane emissions from space. The Tanager constellation will be yet another powerful add to the existing range of satellites in Orbit that can monitor methane emissions, specifically due to its increased sensitivity and lower detection thresholds. Congratulations for years of hard work for the team around Riley Duren, Daniel Cusworth and many others 👏
A great achievement for the Carbon Mapper and Planet teams. Very exciting times for the community, and way to support Robert!
Wow. What an amazing find - If only there was a tool out there for emissions intelligence. 🤔 😉
This spot is just south of Midland, TX. Someone's ox is about to get gored.
Does the satellite need to see methane without clouds?

Congrats Robert! Thats inspiring!
Congratulations!
Thanks for helping share the exciting news! We're eager for more data and increased methane and CO2 emissions transparency to support mitigation action.
