🚀 Exciting News! 🌍 We’re thrilled to share that NASA has successfully launched the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite. This mission will study the impact of microscopic life in water and microscopic particles in the air, providing insights into the interactions of the ocean and atmosphere, and how a changing climate affects these interactions.
As a global leader for IR sensors, Teledyne Judson Technologies is proud to contribute to this mission. Our InGaAs and MCT detectors play a crucial role in enabling the satellite’s hyperspectral ocean color instrument to measure oceans and other water bodies across a spectrum of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. This will allow scientists to track the distribution of phytoplankton and identify changes in the marine environment.
We’re honored to be part of this groundbreaking mission and look forward to the new discoveries it will bring. Together, we’re helping to answer urgent questions about our changing climate.

🚀 NASA's PACE satellite launch last month is such an exciting development in the monitoring of our ocean and atmospheric health!
What can the satellite track?
◽ Things the human eye can't see...like plankton and aerosols
◽ Plankton: tracks distribution and different types of phytoplankton (for the first time from space!) which can monitor algal blooms, forecast health of fisheries, and identify changes in the marine environment
◽ Aerosols: tracks size and shape of aerosols which allows more detailed tracking of air quality and pollution
The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite is a huge advancement in how technology and data can be used to further understanding of our changing climate.

Some of the key questions to be addressed include:
- How can we harness space-based technologies to support a greener future?
- How can space tech support the decarbonization of industries?
- What role can EO play in understanding climate change?
Join us next month as we dive into these topics.

This is one of the greatest things that has been built and put in orbit by #Planet and #NASA. For the first time we could see and track methane and CO2 by their source. Head to www.carbonmapper.org where they have their data available to the public. It is at most essential to be able to observe greenhouse gases, so we can plan and make informed decisions towards addressing climate change. Thanks to the hard work of scientists and engineers and everyone at #PlanetLabs and #NASA.
Working with partners to make data on greenhouse gas plumes and their sources accessible and actionable – just another way we #DareMightyThingsTogether for the benefit of humanity and our home planet!
Carbon Mapper’s Tanager-1 satellite, built by Planet and launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 on Friday, has entered Earth orbit to carry out its mission of tracking methane and carbon dioxide from space. The imaging spectrometer technology aboard Tanager-1 is the product of four decades of development and innovation by teams at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and we’re so pleased to see it leveraged by this important public-private partnership.
The data that this satellite provides will be precise and global, making it beneficial to everyone as we seek to increasingly transition climate knowledge to solutions in communities around the world. Stay tuned for the launch of a second Tanager satellite with a JPL-built imaging spectrometer soon!

🌍A Decade of OCO-2 in Orbit! 🌍
Ten years ago, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), marking a significant milestone in our understanding of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Since its launch on July 2, 2014, OCO-2 has provided invaluable data, helping scientists worldwide to map and monitor CO2 sources and sinks on a global scale. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to the continued advancements in our quest at Constructivist to understand and protect our planet with GHG monitoring and evidence based accounting.
CO2 is a critical greenhouse gas, playing a vital role in Earth's carbon cycle and climate system. Through its high-precision measurements, OCO-2 has enhanced our understanding of the processes regulating the exchange of CO2 between Earth's surface and the atmosphere, shedding light on the complex dynamics of natural and anthropogenic carbon fluxes.
Key achievements of OCO-2 include:
🌿 Unraveling the dynamics of ocean carbon exchange and the seasonal patterns of terrestrial ecosystems.
🔥 Investigating the impact of wildfires and weather events on CO2 levels.
🚀 Providing a clearer, more complete picture of global CO2 distribution, essential for predicting future climate scenarios.
One of the most intriguing study I found using OCO-2 Data was:
How "Glowing" Plants Could Help Scientists Predict Flash Drought: The principle here was Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF). Link Here: https://lnkd.in/gVDSud4H
OCO-2's contributions have paved the way for future CO2 monitoring missions, reinforcing the importance of space-based observations in addressing climate change.

"NASA is now publicly distributing science-quality data from its newest Earth-observing satellite, providing first-of-their-kind measurements of ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite was launched on Feb. 8, and has been put through several weeks of in-orbit testing of the spacecraft and instruments to ensure proper functioning and data quality."

It’s a new era for remote sensing of methane emissions, the “emergency handbreak” we can pull on climate change. I get asked a lot what the difference between Carbon Mapper and MethaneSAT is, this is the clearest explanation yet. (Still) very excited by rhe new era of transparency and credibility remote sensing tools will bring to the climate fight.
How can we get a fuller picture of methane emissions worldwide?
Two satellite programs are up to the task, joining others in orbit to detect, quantify, and track methane emissions at different levels of granularity.
➡ MethaneSAT by Environmental Defense Fund acts like a wide-angle lens and measures methane over wide areas, detecting and aggregating emissions that we might not be seeing today.
➡ The Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite, led by + developed by Planet with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory technology, acts like a zoom lens, detecting large bursts of methane at specific facilities or pieces of equipment.
BOTH views are important as we work together to provide the public data decision makers need to design and prioritize climate solutions.

Carbon Mapper + MethaneSAT — together — are the first 2 critical pieces in the non-profit satellite system-of-systems that will openly detect and help to plug methane emissions from oil and gas (and other) sources!
