Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use for targeted hyperspectral research and super-emitter screening with supporting measurements.

Why
Tanager-1 is operational and independently usable for plume analysis, while absolute emission-rate accuracy remains less independently established.
Next
Validate retrieval and quantification against reference measurements under the intended surface, wind and observing conditions.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Emission-rate accuracy requires reference measurements.
  • Surface reflectance, plume contrast and wind conditions affect results.
  • Current satellite coverage differs from planned constellation coverage.
