Leaks of methane gas to be identified by satellite

On 11 March, MethaneSat, a satellite the size of a washing machine, is set to be launched from California via a SpaceX rocket.
This groundbreaking satellite will play a crucial role in identifying the largest methane polluters in the oil and gas industry.
By offering the first comprehensive global perspective on leaks of this potent greenhouse gas, MethaneSat will make all of its data accessible to the public.
