New Satellite Constellation to Track Global Methane Emissions

Earth editorial note

Multiple satellite constellations (MethaneSAT, Carbon Mapper’s Tanager, and GHGSat) are now operational or in development, offering facility-scale methane detection from space. With daily global coverage from TROPOMI guiding high-resolution follow-up from targeted sensors, these systems form a tiered observational architecture that is transforming the world’s ability to locate, quantify, and ultimately reduce methane emissions at source.
