MethaneSAT is a mission focused on measuring methane emissions globally with high precision and spatial resolution. Operated by MethaneSAT LLC, a subsidiary of the Environmental Defense Fund, this initiative aims to identify and quantify methane leaks from space, providing critical data for climate change mitigation. The satellite technology allows
for monitoring methane emissions over areas as small as one kilometer, offering unprecedented detail and scope. MethaneSAT's data collection is enhanced by sensors on jet aircraft, furthering its capability to track methane with accuracy. The mission, a collaboration between the Environmental Defense Fund and the New Zealand Space Agency, represents a significant step forward in environmental monitoring and the fight against climate change.
