The Tanager satellite constellation, developed by Carbon Mapper, is a cutting-edge solution for monitoring global greenhouse gas emissions. The flagship satellite, Tanager-1, utilizes hyperspectral imaging technology to detect methane emissions with high accuracy and spatial resolution. By providing actionable data on high-emitting facilities, it enables governments and operators to take swift measures to reduce emissions and combat climate change.

Launched in August 2024, the Tanager satellite constellation represents a significant advancement in environmental monitoring. With the ability to detect methane emissions over vast areas on a daily basis, it offers a comprehensive view of global greenhouse gas sources. By leveraging NASA JPL technology and rigorous quality-control methods, the satellite system ensures reliable and accurate data for informed decision-making.

Through an open-access portal, the data collected by the Tanager constellation is made freely available to governments, regulators, and other stakeholders. This transparency facilitates collaboration and enables the integration of emission monitoring into environmental policy frameworks. By identifying previously unknown emission sources and supporting leak detection efforts, the satellite system has a tangible impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
