New satellite tracks climate change factor

California launched its second methane-tracking satellite, Tanager-2, from Vandenberg Space Force Base, enhancing efforts to monitor and address climate-polluting methane emissions. The satellite allows regulators to detect leaks more frequently and precisely, enabling faster repairs at landfills, oil, and gas facilities. Since the first satellite, Tanager-1, was launched, California has fixed 18 large leaks, preventing over 142,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually. The new satellite aims to improve observation frequency and help meet the state's methane reduction targets.
