Satellite launch aims for increased scrutiny of methane emitters

“Iris, a microwave-sized gadget set to be launched into orbit from French Guiana this weekend, weather permitting, will be able to track methane released from oil and gas wells, coal mines, power plants, farms, and factories around the globe.”

GHGSat’s second methane monitoring satellite, Iris, is ready for its debut in space, scheduled to launch in orbit in September 2020.
