Greenhouse gas monitoring from space to get a boost with SpaceX launch

Three greenhouse gas-detecting satellites will travel to space on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket  Wednesday (May 25) to improve emissions monitoring from space. 

The satellites belong to Canada-based GHGSat, which currently runs the world’s largest greenhouse gas-monitoring satellite constellations. The new additions will double the company’s fleet, enabling it to spot polluters more quickly and accurately. GHGSat detects methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
