  • NASA and SpaceX Launches A Device To Monitor Air Pollution From Space

NASA, in collaboration with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has launched TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution Instrument) – an air-quality monitor that will enhance how scientists observe air quality from space.

TEMPO is the first space-based tool that can monitor major air pollutants in high spatial resolution (up to four square miles) hourly. It covers the entire continental United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian oil sands to below Mexico City.

According to NASA, TEMPO will provide hourly daytime measurements of air quality in North America, monitoring three main pollutants and revealing disparities in exposure in our cities and communities. With the size of a washing machine, TEMPO has been described as a chemistry laboratory in space and will be hosted on an Intelsat communications satellite in geostationary orbit.

Geostationary Orbit – Geostationary Orbit is a common orbit for weather satellites and communications satellites, now by placing this an air quality instrument measuring gases is also there.

TEMPO’s data will be used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other agencies responsible for tackling atmospheric pollution. AFP has reported these unique features of TEMPO.
