Pushing the boundaries of Earth observation and methane emissions monitoring
SUPERIOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Tanager™ is a best-in-class hyperspectral imaging satellite offering unparalleled sensitivity, designed to deliver full-spectrum imagery across the visible and shortwave infrared regions (VSWIR).
Engineered by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sponsored by Carbon Mapper, Tanager’s next-generation sensor technology empowers your organization to make critical, time-sensitive decisions with confidence. Quickly uncover regional trends and deviations from historical patterns with Tanager’s broad area coverage and rapid-access data.
HOW IT CAN HELP
Tanager supports a broad spectrum of applications, but its core mission is to detect and mitigate methane emissions across the globe. Tanager is able to map facility-scale methane emissions to enhance leak detection and repair efforts.

Detect smaller emissions more frequently with 3-6x more sensitivity than comparable spaceborne systems.
Monitor widely distributed assets and facilities with Tanager’s expansive coverage.


Find leaks faster with rapid data delivery and help speed time to action.
Trace likely source of emissions detections to facility equipment with Planet’s high-frequency Monitoring and high-resolution Tasking imagery.
