ABB-built optical sensors on board latest GHGSat satellites to detect greenhouse gas emissions from space

GHGSat, the global leader in high-resolution greenhouse gas monitoring from space, has successfully launched into orbit three additional methane satellites, carrying optical sensors built by ABB.

Named Mey-Lin, Gaspard, and Océane, the three satellites travelled on SpaceX's Transporter-7 mission from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. They separated from the rocket approximately 63 minutes after liftoff and are now orbiting the Earth, monitoring emissions from space.

The sensors map methane emissions and provide invaluable insights to governments and industries looking to meet their emission reduction targets. The sensors can map industrial emissions at a resolution of 100 times higher than comparable technologies currently in operation.
