Montreal-based GHGSat Inc., which aims to be a world leader in the detection of greenhouse gas emissions from space, is poised to significantly boost its data gathering capability with the launch of three additional satellites on Wednesday.

The trio of spacecraft – each the size of a microwave oven – lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 2:27 p.m. ET as part of a mass-deployment of 59 small satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Their successful release was confirmed about 90 minutes later.
