Launch success! 🚀🛰️
Tanager-2 now joins Tanager-1 in orbit, bringing new visibility into methane super-emitters around the world.
Stay tuned for the satellite’s first look at earth. 👀

Methane data empowers methane action. 🛰️📉
This week at #COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, Carbon Mapper is collaborating with governments, operators and partners to turn satellite data into methane reductions.

🌍 #PlumeOfTheWeek: A large methane plume was spotted off India’s west coast on March 8, 2026, at an estimated ~5,100 kg/hr.
🛰️ Detected using glint capability from @planet's Tanager satellite.

Nothing's spookier than #methane you can't see 👻🎃
Our public portal maps 37.4K+ methane plumes from 11.4K+ global sources. Finding & fixing super-emitters is one of the fastest ways to slow warming while improving public health. 🌍

🌍 #PlumeOfTheWeek: A gas processing plant in Louisiana has been emitting methane persistently for over a year. We’ve detected it at least a dozen times, most recently Sept. 18. Persistent super-emitters are ripe for mitigation. 🔎 bit.ly/4kczQK7

Tanager-2 is already at work. 🛰️ Days after launch, its "first looks" at Earth helped us detect methane off the coast of Spain + a CO2 over Indonesia.
With two @planet satellites, we can revisit emission sources more often & deliver more actionable data: bit.ly/4jrtkyS
The evidence is stacking up 🛰️
New @Stanford research shows that satellites offer accurate, trustworthy #methane data. @planet's Tanager-1 detected 100% of cloud-free releases with no false plumes.
With Tanager-2 in space, our impact will grow. ⬇️ spacenews.com/space-based-me…
🌍 Plumes of the Week
Tanager-1 spotted a large #methane plume in the Permian Basin on Oct. 10. Two days later, Tanager-2 imaged the same source, and we detected methane again.
More satellites with @planet = faster revisits and more data on persistent emitters 🛰️

Can satellites be trusted to find methane leaks? A blind @Stanford study says yes 🛰️
Researchers staged 481 methane releases in the Arizona desert. Using Tanager-1, Carbon Mapper detected 100% of its cloud-free releases with zero false plumes.

Trustworthy, science-based data turns satellite monitoring into action.
Operators can find and fix leaks fast. Regulators and policymakers can make decisions with confidence.

Tanager-2's first looks at Earth are in. 👀 🌎 And this week's #PlumeOfTheWeek is a big one.
🛰️ Just days after launch, we spotted a large methane plume from a landfill near Spain's coast.
Two Tanager satellites in orbit with @planet means faster revisits & action on emissions.

With Tanager-2 in orbit, California can look for methane leaks at more locations, more often.
Satellite data has already helped fix 18 major leaks in the state, equal to taking ~32,000 cars off the road for a year.
