The proposed new missions seem to be very interesting and promising in terms of performances and data. The space panorama and in particular the EO sector is very dynamically evolving thanks to the active role of new and competitive space actors. Abstract: The ESA Earthnet Programme provides the framework for integrating non-ESA missions (Third Party Mission) in the overall ESA Earth Observation (EO) strategy, allowing data access and supporting the development of new research and applications.This content was issued through the press release distribution service at. Image 1: GHGSat Approved as ESA Earthnet Third Party Mission With proprietary remote-sensing and patented technology, GHGSat enables strategic decision-making through monitoring and analytics services, with better accuracy, more frequently, and at a fraction of the cost of other technologies. GHGSat uses its own satellites and aircraft sensors to measure greenhouse gas emissions directly from industrial sites, providing actionable insights to businesses, governments, and regulators. It is a tribute to the hard work of our teams and scientists in Canada and around the world that have helped create - and prove - the high-resolution technology that makes our data unique. From the moment we had our first demonstration satellite in orbit, GHGSat has looked for ways to support climate science research, working with distinguished organisations such as Harvard and SRON. Now, as part of ESA's TPM family, we're glad our data will be available to an even wider community.'įor further information, contact Sevana Jinbachian by email GHGSat Stephane Germain, CEO, GHGSat, said: 'We greatly value our relationship with ESA and are thrilled at becoming an official Third Party Mission member. It currently has three satellites in orbit, with three more due to launch this week. GHGSat operates the only satellite constellation able to measure industrial emissions down to the level of individual oil or gas wells. Identifying - and rectifying - the source of man-made leaks has become a climate action priority. Methane is now recognised as a major factor in global warming. GHGSat's unique high-resolution imagery is a valuable addition to our portfolio and will be a great asset to all those studying human-made greenhouse gas emissions.' It is fitting that we do this today, at our Living Planet Symposium: an event that sees scientists and researchers from around the world come together to discuss how space can help us monitor - and safeguard - the health of our planet. TPM users will be able to access state-of-the-art greenhouse gas measurements, with a resolution down to just 25m on the ground, from sites around the world.Īnnouncing GHGSat's Third Party Mission Status, ESA's Simonetta Cheli, Director of Earth Observation Programmes, said, 'We are delighted to announce that our Member States have approved GHGSat's membership to the Third Party Mission programme.

The new deal expands on an existing arrangement with ESA and the Canadian Space Agency that saw GHGSat provide 5% of the data from its first commercial satellite free for use by researchers.

The programme aims to make high-quality data more accessible and interoperable in order to promote the creation of new science and applications.

If accepted, ESA then flags the information to the wider scientific community. Launched in 2018, ESA's Earthnet TPM programme rigorously evaluates independent Earth Observation (EO) datasets, assessing their quality and validation protocols. As a result, data from the company's commercial satellites will be provided, free of charge, to researchers working in the fields of Earth sciences and climate change. MONTREAL, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - GHGSat, the world leader in high-resolution sensing of greenhouse gas emissions from space, today announced that it had officially joined the European Space Agency's (ESA) prestigious Earthnet Third Party Mission (TPM) programme.
