From HandWiki

GHGSat is a Canadian commercial satellite constellation designed to measure greenhouse gas emissions (methane and carbon dioxide).[1][2][3] As of 2026, it consists of more than ten 16U CubeSats orbiting in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of approximately 500 km, each equipped with an infrared imaging spectrometer capable of locating point sources of greenhouse gases.[4][5][6][7] The constellation provides data to the United Nations, NASA, the UK Space Agency, and the European Space Agency, as well as to private companies.[8][9] The first satellite GHGSat-D Claire was launched in June 2016.[10]
