2024 highlight: On Oct 9, our @planet.com Tanager-1 satellite detected a significant methane leak — equivalent to the CO2 emissions of driving 47 gas-powered cars for a year. The leak was swiftly reported and repaired by the operator.

Here's to many more successes like this in 2025! 🌎🌈🛰️
Left - a large methane plume from a leaking oil and gas pipeline was detected in the Texas Permian Basin by Tanager-1 on Oct. 9. After being shared with federal and state agencies, the leak was voluntarily fixed by the operator. Right - a subsequent Tanager observation on Oct. 24 detected no methane.
